I can't reinstall Jellyfin - bootieshorts - 2023-09-01

One of my external drives corrupted. So it's not used anymore and it's where I had Jellyfin installed. Now when I want to install Jellyfin to a different drive it says there's already an existing install. It's just trying to update the preexisting install which is no longer accessible and I get an error when I try to continue. I've gone to uninstall the previous install but I still have this issue. What can I do to solve this?

This is on windows btw.

Check C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin. All of the running configs and databases are there, by default.

There's no Jellyfin folder there

Open regedit.exe, locate this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Jellyfin\Server

Delete it.

That's what the installer checks for an existing install location.
