Windows clean reinstall inconsistent instructions in different articles

[mlidbo]

The windows troubleshooting topic here: [Troubleshooting] Windows - The Spotify Community

links to this article for instructions on reinstalling the windows app: Reinstall Spotify - Spotify

Elsewhere moderators keep posting links here instead: How can I perform a clean reinstall of the app? - The Spotify Community. The two articles are not equivalent. The latter one has these instructions which the first one is missing: 

• On the Start search bar, type %AppData% and hit enter. This should open up AppData\Roaming.
• In the new window that opens up make sure there's no Spotify folder showing up. If there is, you can delete it.
• Make sure that there is no Spotify folder left in AppData\Local  (or C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage) as well.
• In addition, you can run a search on your device to look for any leftover Spotify folders left. If you find any, make sure to delete them.
• Shut down your device, wait a couple of minutes and switch it on again.
• Download and install Spotify from the Windows Apps store [The first article does not specify which spotify installer to use].

Great catch, @mlidbo! I see exactly what you mean. I will pass along your feedback to see if there's any way that can be reworked for consistency. Thanks!
