Question re NT8. My platform is corrupted and it's been around 36 hrs and support is still saying the problem is due to 3rd pty add-ons, even though they worked fine before NT got corrupted in a stupid Windows Backup through OneDrive.

Does anyone see any harm in trying the following:
* Rename NinjaTrader 8 folder in Documents, rename NinjaTrader 8 folder in Program Files
* Re-install NinjaTrader 8 from fresh download
* Run Import from backup file I exported 4/11 before the Windows Backup and OneDrive corrupted all the files

Just an update that the piece that I was missing was to uninstall NT from the Windows Control Panel. Here's more detail for anyone who finds themselves in this predicament.

I find that OneDrive does not play well with Ninja and it is not possible to exclude a folder from Documents. It is all or nothing. Also it’s not possible to choose a different installation folder for Ninja, which is something I think should become an option.
