Can't seem to completely uninstall Vegas

I'm trying to troubleshoot something and I need a completely clean install of Vegas. I uninstalled it, even used Revo. I hunted down any leftover folders I could find manually, etc. But when I reinstalled my workspace was the same, export profiles and wavehammer profiles I had created still existed, plugins I had installed were still there, etc.

 

It's like some voodoo magic and I do not like it - not at all. Is there some comprehensive list of all folders Vegas creates outside its main program folder?

See section 14 of this post for links to doing a clean uninstall. Unfortunately there is no published way to do this in the Magix versions yet, so you'd have to adapt the instructions for Sony versions: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-vegas-pro-won-t-start-what-can-i-do--104784/

Did everything I could and then manually went through registry looking for Sony, Magix, and Vegas keys lmao... it did work though.

Seems my rendering problems have gone away for the moment. (I was producing AVIs that were not the correct length, they would play past the length media players reported, and when re-imported into vegas the audio duration cut off at that false length it was very weird).

Been installing everything through Revo this time so I won't have to hunt garbage down hopefully in the future.

I want to try and get one plugin I had back but I can't for the life of me remember its name.

It was like a replacement/add-on for the render status modal. It told you estimated time, etc just like the usual modal but it also included Current/Average FPS etc. I don't know if it was causing the problem or not (seems weird that it would, but its current progress always finished way ahead of the actual rendering so who knows)

Anyone happen to know its name?
