I had SC4 + Rushour installed on my machine originally from the CDs. When EA's free game thing came out for those who fell for 5imCity, I got SC4: Deluxe just to have a backup version in case my disks ever became broken. 

 

However, when I bought it, it installed itself on top of my SC4 CD version...and I"ve been having some odd behaviors with my plugins since. I want to do a total rip-out uninstall and clear out every trace of SC4 from either install so I can do a totally clean re-install. 

 

Simply running the uninstaller didn't do the trick...what else am I missing?

copy the plugin folder to another file first, so when you uninstalling no plugins is missing (but i think uninstaller can be set to not delete any old plugins and regions) but for safe, you can do that :D

Not sure what Origin's installer does.  It sure doesn't put things where it should.

    Just as a note, running the windows uninstaller for SC4 AND clearing out all the SimCity4 folders in the documents folder did the trick. I re-installed and re-imported my stuff and everything seems to be clean now.
