How many copies of the file SerialNG.dcu do you have on your system? The answer should be one; if it's not, then delete all the copies and recompile Clocks.dpk. Confirm that you only have one copy of SerialNG.pas, too.

Ok, I am following this line and making a totally new package. 

That's not what I told you to do.

But how to remove the project Clocks totally? Deleting the Clocks.bpl does not do it, trying to install the components in a new package does not succeed, as f.ex. SerialNG is already 'registered'?

Units don't get registered. Components do. Components don't get installed. Packages do.

A package is a project, and it may consist of one or more units, which are source-code files. A unit may contain any number of component definitions (including zero). When you _install_ a package, code from the units gets _executed_, which _registers_ the components.

If you delete the BPL, then nothing will be registered because things only get registered when Delphi executes the Register procedures in the BPL.

If you really want to start over from scratch (which I don't really thing you need to do), then delete everything *except* your PAS files. Delete the DPK. Delete the BPL. Delete the DCUs. Delete the DCP.

Then create a new DPK project. Add the PAS files. Compile. Install. And you're done.
