I wrote a new addin for 2014. Did a copy and paste of some earlier code.
compiled and moved the files to the relevant autodesk folders.
Realized I had reused a ClassID Guid on my new button.
Changed the guid to be the new addin class ID.
Now my button does not show up at all.
Tried unloading and reloading the addin several times.
How do I clear the button completely from Inventor so I can get the proper guid in place?
Buttons are not persisted across sessions, so you probably made a mistake somewhere else that causes the button not to show up... Did you try debugging in the code and see if you could spot the issue? Are you sure you are not using duplicate internal names?

Actually the only change I made was to correct the GUID. Nothing else.
I ended up deleting the addin files from disk. started and shut down inventor without my addin.
recompiled my add in. Re-Copied the addin files to inventor.
Poof. Everything works again.
