A couple of questions:
Is there a way to erase the animations within the animator to start over?
You can remove/delete animations by doing the following:
- Drag the EZAD from your inventory onto the ground.
- Right click on the EZAD and choose "Edit"
- Click "More" and then the "Content" tab.
- Search for the animation you want to remove in the contents.
- Right click on the name of the animation and choose "delete"
Please note that this deletes the animation. It doesn't go to your trash, it's gone unless you have another copy of it. If the animation is "no copy" you may want to drag it from the EZAD back into your personal inventory.

Where do I find the ~AO_male and ~AO_female files?
The AO config files are near the bottom of the contents of the HUDDLE, in the middle of the scripts. (Do steps 1-3 above and then page down to the end of the contents.)

When you say "Make sure they are in inventory", does that mean that you have to place them in inventory from a rez on the ground? Or can you place them in inventory by putting them in the directory?
I'm probably talking about when you add animations to your HUDDLE. After you have dragged them into the EZAD, make sure the contents of the EZAD refresh and you can see the animations inside before you pick up the EZAD.

Do you think the best approach when adding animations is to rez the EXAnimator, then delete the old one?
No, I think what you should do is to add a "no copy" animation to your EZAD. Then it will stop making copies every time you rez it. Alternatively, if you wear the HUD, then right click on it and choose "Drop" it will drop the EZAD without making a copy of it.

I note that I can open an EZ animator, then open it again, and get a large list of animations etc. Is this something that I should be doing? Or is this the hidden file stuff that is not necessary? I note all these Danceslavev1.0x? Can I use these somehow?
Yep, you should not "Open" the EZAD HUD and click "Copy to Inventory" that will copy everything in there into a folder in your personal inventory. Those scripts don't do anything on their own. For the vast number of users, you should not add or remove scripts from your HUDDLE or it may stop working. The only exception to this is when there is an update or if you are a scripter trying to add hack.

Can I rename the EZ Animator file or folder? Will it still work or does it need to have the name for a directory path?
If you are talking about the folder in your personal inventory, yeah, it will have no effect. You can even rename the actual HUD. This is probably a good idea if you want to keep track of different copies of it.
