Yes thanks! In fact following this related thread [Getting an error with the Colors package - #2 by fredrikekre](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/getting-an-error-with-the-colors-package/44766/2) I found that deleting just the `.julia/registries` subfolder was all that was necessary. Took about 10mins after restarting Julia for it auto-install the registries back.
