how to uninstall individual plugins?

[jackson881]

The setup.app uninstaller seems to uninstall everything. Is there a way to uninstall specific plugins, like an expired demo etc?
Thanks!

which os/daw?

Just remove the respective .dll on PC (not sure about Mac sorry)

They'll probably be somewhere like:

64bit
C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins\ (or possibly in the steinberg\VSTPlugins folder)

32bit
C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugins\

VST3
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\MeldaProduction

like meldaproduction would say "why for god sake do you want to uninstall these amazing and most versatile plugins on the market? just buy them and the demo info message is gone "

afaik there are dedicated folders on mac for separate plugin types. just search for a .vst3 file and you'll find the vst3 folder and so on. delete what you want and dont forget the many additional/hidden files

mac uses both "au components" and/or "vst?" and/or "aax" plugs depending on the daw...and so, "which os/daw?"....../s~

Thanks. I'm on Mac. Deleting the VST/AU/AAX is easy, but it's a hassle to track down hidden files etc. I just thought it would be great if the uninstaller let you choose what plugins to uninstall instead of deleting every single Melda plugin.

...fwiw...i just deleted all m* files under:
"hd/library/audio/plug-ins/" and "hd/users/me/Library/Audio/Plug-ins"
...make sure everything selected is actually from melda......hth....../s~

I'd generally suggest a simple approach:
1) Uninstall everything.
2) Install what you need.

It may seem useless, but it's safe and actually quick.
