Live Update oddities

Dave_YVR:
  I installed KMEM and KSDF a couple months ago to demo and test it out but uninstalled both of them and then removed the KMEM and KSDF folders from my FSDT Addon Manager\Fsdreamteam. Now when running the Live Update, it seems to download the entire KMEM scenery file by file.

That can only happen if you removed the scenery folders INSTEAD (not in addition to) of running the uninstaller since, if you ran the uninstaller, you wouldn't even had the scenery folders to remove.

It's best if you reinstall them both, and this time really run their Uninstaller. Don't remove anything by hand.

Dave_YVR:
Thanks, Umberto, I'll give that a go. 99% positive that I wouldn't have just deleted the folder without uninstalling it first though.

Dave_YVR:
 I've done as requested like I did when I first uninstalled Memphis but still, when I run Live update it downloads KMEM very slowly file by file. There are no references to KMEM or Memphis in my registry, any ideas?

The registry doesn't have anything to do with this. The Live Update thinks KMEM is still installed, because the folder that contains its objects is still there:

Addon Manager\Simobjects\Misc\FSDT_KMEM

This folder will surely be removed if you ran the scenery uninstaller so, it's not supposed to be there. However, if your original KMEM was MIGRATED from another previous installation using the old installers (the ones that used to install INTO the sim), its uninstaller won't remove anything (uninstallers remove only files from their original locations).

Which is why I said: "It's best if you reinstall them both, and this time really run their Uninstaller", because reinstalling would create a new updated uninstaller. Of course, you must use the latest installers.
