    Hello, I have been culling my asset library, getting rid of a lot (a really BIG lot) of unused or lower quality items. All of them were manually installed and I have painfully uninstalled all of them the same way.

    Now, my problem is that when I search content in the database, those items keep appearing as 'broken' entries. Is there a way to get rid of them automatically? There are several options under 'database maintenance', but they are not self-explanatory enough (not for me, at least), and I wouldn't want to break anything.

    Thanks in advance,

    EDIT: using DAZ 4.23, in case it's relevant

    This probably doesn't help the current situation you have, but when I uninstall a product, I look at my saved Inst file which shows me exactly where everything relevant to that product is.
    I then delete each item manually. I have never had a ghosting issue like that since I developed my own library system as detailed in the Manual Install sticky. If I want to re-install I just copy & paste the Inst file back into the correct level of My Library.

    Quite often I think it can be quicker, easier & more robust to start a fresh remote library rather than try to fix a pre existing chaotic runtime. :0/
