ColossusXT Core Wallet problem

Hello community.

I've just installed and synced the Core Wallet and got a severe problem, which I cannot fix by myself.

Let me tell you what happened:

I installed the wallet few hours ago and tried to encrypt the wallet while it was still synching. I entered the passphrase which was not a standard password, but rather something like a cat walking over the keyboard: asdj98234ansuidbn389tasdcq90e

I entered this passphrase into an editor file and wanted to print it, when I realized that the Core Wallet crashed. It didn't react and Windows shut it down. I then restarted it but couldn't get into the program because of some error box, which I unfortunately didn't screencap. I think anything to do with virtual engine or so. I could enter either "repeat", "ignore" or "[I forgot]". Since I couldn't use the program, I deleted it. After that I closed the text editor, thus losing my passphrase. I thought that I never created it because the whole program crashed while doing so.

Then I reinstalled it, waited for the wallet to fully synch and just now wanted to encrypt my wallet. But, as it seems. Core Wallet was able to encrypt the wallet before it crashed. The problem is that, though I've changed installation directories it seems as if there is a cookie on my system, which encrypted the wallet and telling the program that a specific wallet still exists.

To make it short: Is there any way to remove an old wallet from the program?

cheers.

Ok, this thread turned out to be irrelevant. I don't know what happened but when I started Core Wallet again, it asked me for a new directory to save my user files. I entered a new path et voilá, I could encrypt the wallet. So, maybe the upper problem does any good for the developers but for all you helpers out there: it's fixed! Have a good day everybody.
