How to Fresh Install

I’ve got a specific use for lightburn (plasma table) and the 1.2 version is not working, so i’d like to revert back to the 1.1.03; i have the install files but everytime i install it, it pulls in data from somewhere that i can not find.
Im on windows 10 and have uninstalled, checked/deleted the program files folder, checked temp folder(s), checked registry files and some saved data is continuing to stay somewhere???
I would like to start from a completely blank slate/fresh install of v1.1.03; any advice or what i may be missing?
thanks

  1. Open LightBurn
  2. File->Open Prefs Folder
  3. Close LIghtBurn
  4. Delete contents of Prefs Folder
  5. Restart LightBurn

Thank you @berainlb; this was super helpful (and my first issue). After starting from scratch, i found a really dumb mistake i was making and reinstalled v1.2.01.
My issue was not version release related; it was operator error and is now resolved.
Thank you

I’m glad this is resolved - Thank you for sharing.
Also glad you found the error. If it’s something that could be unique to Plasma cutting or plasma table behaviour I’d like to note it for when LightBurn takes it on.

I hate to admit how dumb it was, but apparently i was using an old library and for some reason the ‘cut through’ button was not on, so it would not start at the appropriate time for the plasma to through pierce and lead in.
my plasma generally has a .5-1.5s delay to strike the non pilot arc so i have that incorporated into the pierce delay (as well as the time it takes to pierce the material).
Without cut through on it would get the S1 command on the first line of code and thereby delay until it was 5-10mm into the cut path
