I deleted the application from my Mac mini, emptied the trash, reinstalled from the jriver site and the new version still has all the thumnails and same settings as before (it even registered too).  I have made so many changes, I wanted to start clean, how do i do this?f

There are typically hidden (from Finder) settings and data files stored on Mac OS when you install/use an app.  These can be found under your home directory, in a folder tree Library/Application Support.  You can get to it in the Finder by using Go > Go to Folder and entering:

    ~/Library/Application Support

Under it, you'll see J River.  If you truly want no settings or backups, or anything MC created, quit MC, and then delete the entire J River folder tree.

Hi, i don't see any j.river folder there.  After deleting MC19, i downloaded and reinstalled, when i opened, it looks exactly the same as before i uninstalled it. I would like to delete the configs and library completely.

These are hidden files. You can use for example TinkerTool to view these hidden files: enable the Finder to "Show hidden and system files".

It is there.  Open Terminal.app, and copy the following commands:

   ls -1 ~/'Library/Application Support/J River/'
   ls -1 ~/'Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 19/'

and hit Enter.  You'll see that they exist:

Code: [Select]

$ ls  -1 ~/'Library/Application Support/J River/'
Lock/
Media Center 18/

Media Center 19/
$ ls -1 ~/'Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 19/'
Connected Library/
Cover Art/
DLNA Library/

This command will remove the MC19 folder (copy/paste it into Terminal):

   rm -rf  ~/'Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 19/'

You don't need to do this for a simple operation.  Just typing the path into the Finder's menu item Go > Go To Folder... is sufficient.
