[digiKam-users] How do I TOTALLY REMOVE digiKam and Maria DB and start over?

[Maik Qualmann]

 For digiKam it is sufficient to delete the configuration file:
 
 C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\digikamrc
 
 For external MariaDB it is sufficient to delete the digiKam database(s) with 
HeidiSQL.

If you have used internal MySQL, simply delete the .mysql.digikam folder in 
the folder you specified.
