How can I remove all PLEX data and start Fresh?

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

So A while ago I imaged my drive and used it to create a second machine, which I registered with a new windows key (since it deactivated itself when I did this).

The original machine is running my main server. Windows 10 BTW.

I am trying to install server on the second machine, but it keeps taking the place of my main server when i do. I managed to change the server name somehow, but it still takes the place of the main server when it is running on the second machine. I deleted the PLEX Media Server folder under users/appdatalocal and reinstalled server, but it still takes the place of the original serever.

How can I make PLEX see this as a secondary server?

If I’m reading this right.
delete the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server from the system registry. this will cause Plex to create a new MachineIdentifier.

Thank you! It worked! Now I have to figure why some of my movies are showing up twice. Lol.
