ClickOnce and UserSettings

Question

Ok, I have a ClickOnce app that I'm testing and I ask the user for a couple of pieces of information the first time they use load the app; Customer Id and Name. I then set the Properties so that they'll be saved across sessions. The property is Properties.Settings.Default["Customer ID"] and similar for name.

So I uninstall the application through control panel and reinstall the application but the settings are still there! I go and find all directories for my application and delete out the settings but the application acts like it still has them. I can even step through the debugger and see that they are still there.

How do I get rid of them all? This is very frustrating since it makes it almost impossible to test new data and to debug any first time installs.

Thanks...

I believe the user config values are stored in this location:

%APPDATA%\<AppName>\<AppName><AppConfigName_GUID>\<AssemblyVersion>\user.config

Have you checked there?
