Remove DesignBuilder library Data folder

Modified on Thu, 6 Jun at 3:35 PM

Please note that by following these instructions you will also delete your Component, Template and Weather data libraries. To avoid this you should export your libraries before removing them.


Some files from previous Designbuilder installations are still stored in the machine that are not removed by the uninstalling process. These files could cause problems at some point in the current installation and therefore deleting all files in the Library folder and starting a new Designbuilder session will fix the problem.


1. Open the DesignBuilder's Library folder:

  1. Start DesignBuilder
  2. File > Export > Library data folder
  3. Close DesignBuilder


2. With DesignBuilder closed, delete all files in the Library Data folder using Windows Explorer.


3. Start a new DesignBuilder session. Fresh copies of the files you deleted will be copied over again from the Program files folder.
