**I opened DAZ refreshed the page, loaded the base, changed the folder name to test it, loaded the texture ... it still found the texture so I still don't know if the paths are correct or not. It still is seemingly remembering where the texture is :( 

I just  removed the texture folder period. It's still loading the texture. There MUST be some way to clear the cache from DAZ. :(

Thank you, prixat for trying, I really do appreciate your taking the time to post up :) Unfortunately this didn't do it but I will use that I'm sure.

BTW ... rebooting and restarting doesn't work :(
