If you decide to do this, please be very sure to read Whirly Fizzle's warning here first.  If you make a mistake, you can lose everything permanently:

Have you used Metachat?  You'll have to file a ticket.

It appears to be the case that these folders are created by version 1.2.9117 of the Metachat viewer (I don't know what action in that viewer causes this), and that the addition of that folder causes your appearance to be broken. Changing to another viewer does not correct the problem.

Early next week we will attempt to undo the inventory changes responsible for the problem; in the mean time, if you are affected please file a support ticket.

this is not the Metachat related problem - that causes a complete bake fail

I have the Metachat problem, but when I go in to Appearance mode/Edit my shape I appear to myself, albeit with a gray skin, funky hair, and oddly-shaped face.  Everyone else still sees me as a cloud though.

Hello Zack Avalira,

 

 

Thank you for contacting Second Life Support, and for your patience. We are very sorry to hear you are having trouble with your avatar's appearance! As you may know, a recent update to the third-party viewer, Metachat (version 1.2.9117), appears to have a bug that can cause your avatar appearance to be blocked (causing you to appear as a cloud regardless of attempts to resolve your avatar). This problem may result in your avatar appearing grey or as a cloud, and you may notice duplicate Current Look or Current Outfit folders in your inventory. The problem will persist, even if you change your outfit, redeliver body parts or skins, or log in with other viewers. 

 

Unfortunately this issue is not easily corrected; however, our engineers have identified what they believe to be a solution for this issue and are working on implementing it for everyone who has been affected. Unfortunately because it is particularly complicated, I don't have a time range for when it will be resolved, but we will have this fixed as soon as possible. I apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience, as I understand how frustrating this is!

 

We thank you for any information you have provided us about your specific experience. We do hope to have this issue fixed quickly; however, in the meantime your avatar's appearance may remain as it currently is. You may otherwise wish to subscribe to updates on our status blog regarding this issue:

If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thank you again for your patience at this time!

 

Best Wishes,

when you go back you your other viewer empty your trash folder this will get reed of the files you delete on speed light then simply log out and back in your avatar should be fixed at that point
