Installation

[SidneyFish]

Hi, Windows 10 and Jellyfin server v10.10.7 x64
I installed Jellyfin fine and it seemed to work. But I wasn't happy with the metadata stuff, could not change or delete it so I opted to uninstall and reinstall. 
However on reinstalling I did not get setup again, it went straight through to the now broken previous install. 
I uninstalled again, did a registry sweep and found masses of residual links which I deleted, did a netstat which showed me the 8096 virtual serve thing still existed and deleted all of that too. I checked all the Jellyfin folders and deleted the one that still remained. 
All done, I reinstalled again and...same thing. I got to the old installation which just had a ghost of an image with the name of my desktop on, and would not connect, login, respond in any way. I deleted the link in the end and that made no difference at all.
So now I am stuck. I can't reinstall because every time I do it picks up the initial installation which does not now exist, and won't even let me login. clearly something was left behind that i don't know about and can't find.
I'd love if someone call tell me how to clear every last trace off my computer so I can cleanly reinstall.

Look for these registry entries and modify as needed:
Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Jellyfin\Server

Code:

Name                  Type            Data
---------------------------------------------------------------
DataFolder          REG_EXPAND_SZ    C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server
InstallFolder       REG_EXPAND_SZ    C:\Program Files\Jellyfin\Server

Program Data, is either going to be in one of these locations:

Code:

<%ProgramData%>\Jellyfin\Server

Code:

<%LocalAppData%>\jellyfin

Hey thanks for trying. I cleaned the entire registry of anything to do with jellyfin, and all those folders were long gone. There's something left behind, but I've no idea where.
