Hi, just getting started trying to compile an example from here: https://github.com/teemuatlut/TMC2130Stepper. I had reinstalled Visual Studio and Visual Micro after having to reinstall Windows 10. Now the following problem:  the directory path Visual Micro wants to use for user libraries and sketchbook folder (links at the bottom of the Visual Micro Explorer window) are referencing the wrong User name (from the prior setup of Windows).  E.g. they say for user libraries folder 
"C:\Users\<wrongUser>\Documents\Arduino\libraries"  
How to fix this???  It's causing all sorts of trouble trying to install and use libraries. As i said, i tried un-installing everything, rebooting, re-installing Visual Studio, then re-installing VM. 

Net result of this problem is I can't install Arduino libraries from downloaded ZIP files like the TMC2130Stepper-master.zip I want to use.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried the following:

• Checked sketchbook location path in Arduino IDE. It was correct (had the right User name).
• Changed it there (as a test) to a different directory. VM/VS notified me "a change as been made externally to the environment, reload". That sounded good, but after reloading/restarting it, no change had been made. Still using wrong User name.

I think I stumbled on a way to clear the problem though: I saw two .exe files (apps) in the Arduino IDE directory C:/Program Files (x86):  arduino.exe and arduino_debug.exe.  As a guess I ran the debug one. It said "I found a nonexistent directory and changed it to the default." When launched VM/VS now, the paths are corrected.

So this problem is very subtle! Your suggestion at least led me to this guess on a fix. Does it make sense?

Somewhere, even after Arduino IDE is removed/uninstalled, some piece of data is kept around even if it is wrong, and not refreshed when that program is re-installed. And that data seems not to be fixable except by the arduino_debug process (whatever that was created for).
