I have a trivia question. In the BIAB songs and lessons folder, if I no longer wish to have certain contents there, does one simply delete the item or does it have to be officially "uninstalled"?

Welcome to the forum. Delete should work.

Thanks Jim! I also did just notice that there is a folder of uninstall links and by their names it looks like each will "uninstall" a category of add-ons and of course the main program (Eeek). So for the add-ons, I wonder if these links actually perform an official uninstall of some kind or just delete the whole package (rather than just one file in the package) off one's hard drive? Curious.

The uninstall shortcuts link to uninstallers that remove the whole package of whatever files are associated with a link. The shorcuts name what the uninstallers will remove. For example double clicking on the uninstall shortcut for Xtra Styles PAK 19 removes the +++ 200 Styles +++ that are in Xtra Styles PAK 19. Unlike most programs Band-in-a-Box and RealBand do not place any information in the Windows (File) Registry. For all intent Windows is not aware that Band-in-a-Box or RealBand even exist. That means that when it comes to file management, you either have to use a PG Music provided link to perform a file management task or manually perform the task yourself.

Terrific reply! Super helpful. Interesting. Fascinating install strategy on PG's part. Didn't know that. Nice to understand how it works so I don't make a dumb goof.... Back to playing!

You can delete anything from that folder, if you want, and you don't necessarily need to use the uninstaller. Band-in-a-Box content is almost completely contained within your bb folder - it isn't spread around different locations (e.g. Documents, app support etc.). Having said that, there is not really any reason to that I can think of that you would benefit from deleting something from the Songs and Lessons folder.
