I've got the latest osx and I'm trying to uninstall all the files related to Addictive Drums.

From some reason, even after I think I've deleted all the files, it keeps showing up on Logic 9.

Thanks for helping!

Whenever I want to completely remove something from OS X, I usually cycle through these folders (in addition to /Applications/):

/Documents/
/Users/{user}/Documents/
/Library/Preferences/
/Users/{user}/Library/Preferences/
/Library/Application Support/
/Users/{user}/Library/Application Support/
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/
/Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins/
/Users/Shared/

Edit: programs like AppCleaner never really did it for me.

This is my method for completely uninstalling anything:

- Click and open your system HD

- In the search located at the top right, search for the developer, e.g. "XLN"

- Change the search option from "This Mac" to your system HD and also change "Contents" to "File Name"

- All the way to the right after the save button, there is a "+" button, click it

- Change "Kind" to "System Files" (If you don't have "System Files as an option, add it by choosing "Other"

- Change "Aren't Included" to "Are Included"

Now you can remove anything that shows up which is related, repeat the process for the product name, you can just change the search from "XLN" to "Addictive".

it gives some clues as to why these drums are called addictive
