Hard to get rid of trash, LOL. As I said in the other thread, I decided I needed a fresh install of 96000. Here is how I went about it:

1. Went to Program Files, found the N3V folder, and DELETED the entire TRAINS RAILROAD SIMULATOR 2019 folder.
2. Went to My Trains, got a "fresh" TRS2019 zipper.
3. Took that and did its thing to INSTALL the game.
4. Was a bit surprised when it just didn't stop at 96000 but gave me the option of patching on up. Of course, I could of NOT done it, but what the heck . . ..
5. Program did the TEXAS TWO STEP, you know to 96094 and on to 96191.
6. So, before trying to run any thing I thought I would look over at Manage Content.
7. Faulty -- Blank, thank you very much
8. My Content -- SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE -- My old cloned route and session etc, etc, are showing up!!! How is this possible? Do I dare try and run them? I think not, they will probably crash again. I think I will leave them untouched until I see a reply to this.

In the meantime, I can make a fresh clone of KSC2, and start a fresh Session, as the old TV series said "only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Thanks for reading.

Whilst I'm not Tony, I've got an idea how 8 came about and that is you installed it to the same location as previously which means it uses the same local data folder as previously (as this is kept separate from the main program files).

Ah yeah -- must be right. Now, if I could find where they hide that file ... I could delete its content.

It might just be easier to change where the folder location is in Trainz Settings > Install which will update said file (the location of the local data is in that location anyway).

Your old route showed up because TRS2019 install used the old userdata-redirect-map.txt file located in: C:\Users\your login\AppData\Local\N3V Games\trs19.

If you check the Trainz settings at the Launcher, you'll be able to tell where the Packages folder is:

If you used the default C:\Users\(your login)\AppData\Local\N3V Games\TRS2019\build xxxxxxx (xxxxxx = some bunch-o-letters and number), then you need to use File Explorer, open up that folder and then remove the package you need to.

Thanks, maybe I can find it now. I've always just used the "defaults" when installing any of my games

For many apps probably a good idea especially when you later want to upgrade. Easier if you don't have to remember where everything is. As for Trainz, I've always put it on a bigger drive that is not C:. And since I use the same folder structure (but simplified) as the default except for a different drive letter, finding the app and its data is easy. Really handy when there are multiple versions for testing on the drive. Also simplifies permissions and anti-virus exceptions.
