It's probably too late now but you can uninstall the cloud stuff, if you haven't already reset the database since it was installed, by selecting ghe products in the Products tab of Smart Content, right-clicking, and selecting Uninstall. That avoids losing any metadata for your own files.

Thanks RHaseltine - deleted the cloud stuff which will cause a prompt to reinstall items required in existing scenes as you've said. Think it might be best to install manually in my Library in future? The convenience of quick DLs through Central is a big help but I do like my stuff in categories of choice rather than looking for them alphabetically in Products after finding in Smart.  Still can't find one set of shaders I use for clear glass. Think it came as a base set in the last DAZ update.

Interesting that things load into the My DAZ 3d library 'cloud' when they never used to before I reinstalled following the 'memory' matter. Curious how to prevent this. Been with DAZ a bit, but run into issues when I'm out side of my 'covered arc' - more like a driver trying to fix the car rather than a mechanic trying to drive it.. First time I've encountered this sort of problem. 

Central seems to be on the blink - installing pops back to the 'install' tab after a second or two showing the progress tab.
