Description
I've just installed tiddlydesktop on win 10, then opened an empty tw5, named the first tiddler, then opened Stroll and drag&dropped its tiddlers. All went well until I came to the "save, then reload" part. I saved just fine, but, as I couldn't find a refresh or reload button, I closed tiddly desktop and reopened it. I got the top row of buttons to choose the wiki (they didn't work) and a screenfull of js code that I couldn't affect. I said "Oops" (well, perhaps something stronger) and after fussing with it a while, deleted everything in the program directory, everything in the wiki directory, and started over with a new zip.
Now I have a tiddlydesktop with no wiki and javascript all over it. Here's a snip:
There must be something else I have to destroy before I can begin clean and fresh. What would it be?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows 10 sequence described: open an empty TW5, use Stroll, save, close TiddlyDesktop, and reopen it. Compare the resulting wiki-selection buttons and JavaScript screen with the attached screenshot, then determine which leftover program or wiki state prevents a clean start and document a verified reset procedure.
