Question about replacing silicon in the bathroom

I'm trying to fix all joints in the bathroom. Wall-to-ceiling corner lines was all cracked - it was filled with what looked like grout (is this correct? I thought it should be something more flexible in the corners). I removed them all, I want to caulk it with Dap Extreme Stretch (it's wet rated) and paint the ceiling. But I have an issue with wall-to-wall corners (pictures below). This is walk-in shower, so it gets pretty wet. In one corner silicon was pretty lose so I removed it. In other corners I remove a little bit of silicon as well. I have a couple questions: Should I remove all silicon all the way to the floor? And add new one? If #1 is "yes", should I use Dap Extreme Caulk between ceiling and the wall, a then silicon in the corners. Can these two connects? https://preview.redd.it/vxgjlaivvqme1.jpg?width=1512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=405b703b61cf8d77da8ce9165478476185b88e2b https://preview.redd.it/jr4lgaivvqme1.jpg?width=1512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26efd4f34daaeb77db39e76387516fe434a3d2d7 https://preview.redd.it/4rcgcaivvqme1.jpg?width=1512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2cb427c1fb058a332fc9d3b2a205002c240d761b submitted by /u/Known-Advisor-2000 [link] [comments]
