Sure, you could but WHY??? it took me LITERALLY all of 15 minutes to delete the old folders/files, login to my client's site admin, re-upload a fresh copy of IH4, click an admin link to re-run the install.. DONE.. no stray old files, IH4 works again, and I went to bed (right after posting my results on this support thread)..

I did this all RIGHT after my first response to your post last night at 10:18 PM. I wrote my second post at 10:31 PM when I was done..

The ONLY thing I did slightly "off-book" was to copy the includes/modules/MY_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php file to the includes/modules/IH_INSTALL folder so that I did not have to replace the additional_images.php file from my lightbox add-on after the IH4 re-install. (I hope that last part makes sense??)

I build client sites in "Staging" area on my own hosting account, then move it to the client's webserver. What I found is that for SOME servers/hosts IH4 needs to be re-installed when I make the transfer.. It takes no time to do and I'd rather just get it done than spend any time investigating why.. I'd rather just solve the problem and move on.. I know re-installing works, and when I ever find some real free time to mess around to find out why this is I MAY look into the why..
