        @elaineezhu yes, as long as it is not MagicMirror

        MagicMirror.save, .old, .previous, junk… whatever

                        @elaineezhu well then , this explains the original problem…

                        the config in the ACTUAL ~/MagicMirror is not being changed, u were editing some OTHER magicmirror folder.

                        cause the $HOME/MagicMirror folder still exists

                            All have to is copy the config.is.samples to your so you clear copy.
                            Just rename the file config.js and it will. Work if you muck it up you have a copy in you document to start over
                            Again just remember to make a copy again.
