I am just starting with Mylio, and I think I need to reset my device - however! I have about 1000 pictures where I added and corrected face tags. Is there a way to save those tags when I reload Mylio to my computer?

Hi Detlef – You can rename the folder to anything other than the name Mylio created. I would suggest changing it to Mylio_OLD or something like that.

In How to Start Over with Mylio Photos, Instruction #9 says:
To reset any external hard drive devices configured with Mylio Photos, rename the (Mylio_abc123) folder Mylio Photos creates on the drive.
Do you mean delete the folder? If not, then what should you rename the folder to?
