Impossible to remove permanently worker instance

Deadline
1

For some unknown reason it has become impossible to remove one of the worker’s instance i created. Why?

i tried from the local worker controls, from the monitor, deleted the worker’s instance several times, each time we restart the launcher / machine, the darn thing still reappears, still gets automatically resurrected, etc… How can i exorcise this absolute pure evil please? Is there a file in the repository i can just go delete to make sure that demon from the depth of hell stays burried in the past where it belongs. I’m thinking about throwing some holy water on the motherboard next…

Thank you.

There are 3 ways to remove Workers:

There are INI files you can delete from the folders listed here:

These INI files are probably what summons your Workers from hell :smiley:

The holy water did not work… i do not recommend it. Pretty sparks though.

Yeah, i figured out the ini thing that mmuch myself, but was looking in the wrong places at first. Nothing to do with the repository, was all in the clients program data folders and so on. Done.

Thanks for your help though. Appreciated.
