How to get rid of duplicate entries in Battery 4?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Ever since I tried Battery Now, I have these duplicate entries in my library that I can't seem to get rid of. They have been deleted, so I can't bring them up. Battery Now was installed on a different drive that is not in the Library tab in Preferences, so it doesn't make sense that they would continue to show up, even after a rescan.

Is there a way to destroy the entire library database and rebuild it from scratch?

You could try resetting the database:

Reinitialize the BATTERY 4 Database

In the Windows File Explorer, go to the following location on your computer:
C: > Users > *Your Username* > AppData > Local > Native Instruments
Note: The "AppData" folder is hidden. See this article for instructions to access hidden Windows folders.
Search through the Native Instruments folder at this location to find the BATTERY 4 folder.
Delete only the BATTERY 4 folder found here.
Note: Deleting other NI product folders could result in unexpected behavior with other applications.
Reopen the BATTERY 4 software to check that the issue has been resolved.
