How do I erase my previous crawlers history?

As in any records of past games, I tried uninstalling the game, deleting the download and re-installing it, but somehow Crawl remembers my past games.

Thanks in advance

There has to be a simple answer to this, I am just and always have been a bit un-savy with this sort of thing.

Well since none of the 20 or so viewers of this thread deigned to give me an answer, I took a guess and deleted the "Crawl" file in the Appdata folder. Hopefully that doesn't screw anything up down the road somehow.

Yeah, Appdata is where Crawl keeps its files.

It's usually a good idea to rename folders/files. This way you can restore them if something goes wrong.

Note that the answer is "delete the saves and morgue folders" where those folders are, exactly, depends on how you installed crawl, and what operating system you are using.

The most likely location for those folders in windows is:
C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\crawl\

However crawl can be configured to store those folders elsewhere.

You shouldn't need to delete your morgue folder to clear ghosts, just to clear your high scores. Ghosts are stored in the saves folder, IIRC.

It probably also includes bots, like search engine website indexer bots.

Also lurkers. Probably around as many people lurk as actually post.
