Bulk remove projects, data sets, connections etc

Hi experts,

Is there a simple way of bulk removing content from DVD v4? I can only find a way to remove data sets, connections, projects, data flows etc one by one. This is very time consuming.

I tried uninstalling DVD and installing again but all the content was remembered. Perhaps there is a better way to fully remove DVD from the PC?

cheers,

John

Agreed and noted.

That's useful information and will help me "zero out" my DVD installation. Going forward, a multi-select option would be very useful as it is quite time consuming deleting large numbers of data sets and projects one by one.

Cheers,

John

On Windows do the following:

Uninstall (optional)

Delete %localappdata%\DVDesktop

Delete %localappdata%	emp\DVDesktop

Delete %localappdata%\DataVisualization

On Mac do the following:

Uninstall (optional)

~/Library/Application Support/DataVisualization

This will clean up the DV Desktop installation and it will remove all artifacts you have created including projects, data sets and more.  Basically you are starting over from zero!!

Longer term we can look into multi-select management as I think that is what you are looking for.
