Haha, yeah, if I switched Arnold that many times I wouldn't delete my user folder. I only switch like once a month or something like that. But instead of deleting the Arnold Render.Preset and all references to Arnold in default.xsipref, I usually delete the whole folder and run my script to set all preferences again. I don't have any addons or plugins at all in my user folder but instead have a personal workgroup on the network. That way the farm can still use my personal stuff. The only drawback is that the recent files and Project Manager gets cleared but that's sometimes a good thing as well as old project that has been archived and not accessible anymore gets cleared out. Oh, and the key map needs to be backed up and copied back to the new user folder.
