As I said above, you cannot use an existing folder for a new library. If you intend to use the welcome wizard then you must delete the library folder. Or rename it.

I also note that you say "delete all data in 'Configuration Directory'". I told you to delete the directory (folder), not its contents. I suspect that deleting the contents will work but I don't know that.
