Also, lot of bugs during install have been fixed in this version. It is recommended to fully uninstall a previous version if you already have one. Make sure you keep your software key in a safe place before following these steps: #### 1/ Uninstall using Add/Remove programs ![](https://elasticmonkeys.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1024x257.png) #### 2/ Cleanup maya.env file Open **maya.env**, usually located in **C:\Users\\Documents\maya\2024** Remove any line that includes "mandala". If you don't have other plugins installed, you can just delete the maya.env file, it will be re-created next time you run Maya. ![](https://elasticmonkeys.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/image-1-1024x362.png) #### 3/ Optionally, remove all python packages. Delete all the files in: **C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages** for maya 2022 **C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages** for maya 2023 **C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages** for maya 2024 Note: This will not affect your Maya install, but might affect other plugins. **4/ Optionally, delete the models definition file** Find the file **mandala_models.json** which should be located in . This is the folder you selected to install your models in during install. Additionally, deleting the entire folder just means the models will be downloaded from the source again.
