TOTAL removal of PlugIns

Could someone please remind me how to exactly remove a plugIn (AU) from GB (COMPLETELY), with no traces left behind.
I am trying to streamline the application and remove items (Loops, AUs ) I hardly ever use.
I have found, with experience, that GB runs more efficiently with less baggage to access while making music.
Thank YoRJC

Wher did you install the plug-in? For all users or only for you?
If you plug-in came with an uninstaller, it will be best to use that uninstaller.
The plug-ins for all user will be found in the System library - check the subfolders of and delete them from this folder.
     /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/
And the plug-ins installed for you will be in the corresponding folder in the library in your home folder:
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/
Some plug-ins will be instaled in /Library/Components, and these usually create launch services that require tricky uninstalling and are really better left to the uninstallers coming with the plug-in.

  • I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

    I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

    You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.

  • What do I lose by removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin"?

    After upgrading to Leopard (Erase and install, then migrate data from a backup off an external HD), all the flash videos and ads had the Quicktime icon with a question mark on it. After searching through Apple discussions and google, I found a site that suggested removing "Quicktime Plugin.plugin" from the library folder. It seemed like a strange fix but I did it anyway since I already went into Quicktime prefs and unchecked "Enable Flash." I also reinstalled Adobe flash player for Safari- both with no luck.
    So what will I be losing by removing this plugin? I'm assuming its a necessary plugin.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi
    So what will I be losing by removing this plugin? I'm assuming its a necessary plugin.
    Very necessary. In answer to your question, have a look at this thread, especially QuickTimeKirk's post.
    Have you checked your System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime Settings panel? In the Miscellaneous panel only QuickTime HTML ought to be selected. If the other boxes are selected, then you'll have problems with QT in Safari.
    Regarding Flash, if you reinstalled it, then make sure you "repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

  • How to remove unwanted plugins (and no I don't want to read any unrelated articles that never answer your question)?

    I want to clear out the unwanted plugins in Fire Fox . One plugin even has a warning about not using it (Java Deployment Toolkit). But every time I ask "how to remove a plugin?" , I am redirected to an article that doesn't answer the question. And then the circular argument begins again without ever actually answering the question.
    IS IT NECESSARY TO UNINSTALL FIREFOX TO REMOVE A PLUGIN??????

    Plugins like ex Flash and Java etc are not installed in Firefox like Extensions and Themes are. They are on system and Firefox has found and is making use of them. This is why you can only activate/deactivate which tells Firefox to make use of that Plugin on system or not.

  • If I import favorites from IE, does that totally remove them from IE?

    If I import favorites from IE, does that totally remove them from IE?

    I'm quite sure that importing favorites will not delete the originals because it is only "copying" them.
    Hope that helps.

  • TS3212 Hi my itunes has stopped working but every time i try to reinstall it it doesn't work properly and asks me if i want to totally remove itunes or replace/repair. I choose replace/repair but it just closes immediately and says it was interrupted...cl

    Hi Shawn and Jason,
    I have the same problem. One workaround is to clean your disk before running LiveCycledesigner. After you have cleaned up your disk LiveCycleDesigner will start a few times and you can work with it.
    It is an Vista problem. LiveCycleDesigner 8.1 which is just released had fixed the problem so you can also download 8.1

  • Keep PS CS4, but totally remove PS CS5, install PS CS6rer

    I currently have both PS CS4 and CS5 installed on my Windows Vista PC.
    I would like to totally remove CS5, and replace it with CS6.
    I understand that Adobe has a "tool" to entirely uninstall CS5.
    Where can I download this "tool", and are there any other issues that I should be aware of?
    Thanks

    Is there no file/alias »Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS5« in the Photoshop CS5 folder?
    May I ask why you want to uninstall CS5?

  • FCX 10.1.1 : unable to completely remove a plugin

    Hello!
    I removed the plugin C2 TrackX but it still appears inside FCX: it doesn't work though, it's only a black frame now.
    I checked the plugin inside my Moton Templates, i couldn't find it. Same in Application Support / Final Cut Pro...
    Thanks.

    Jim, those folders don't exist (pictures).
    fox_m, it's a CoreMelt product, not FxFactory.
    Innocentius, i already used the uninstaller plugin and it doesn't do it properly:
    "Full Uninstall CM Pluguins"
    "Remove CorMelt Plugins"
    I think it removes some TrackX files, but it's steel appears in FCX (picture in my first post). Of course it' a ghost plugin now, i have a black frame when i try to use it.
    "Remove SliceX" does work for SliceX
    I was expecting a "Remove TrackX" but no...
    I asked Roger Bolton from CoreMelt, no solutions yet.

  • HT1923 IF I totally remove itunes & components from computer--do I LOSE my music library?

    I've been getting the R6034 error message--and my question is: IF I totally remove itunes and its components from my Windows 7 computer in order to reinstall it--do I LOSE my whole library of music?

    excuse my denseness--but I just realized that I could buy a large enough external hard drive and then copy the "my music" folder onto it...

  • How can I totally remove GoPhoto.it from my MacBook Pro?

    Hello!
    How can I totally remove the malware program GoPhoto.it from my MacBook Pro? I am desperate to get some help on this issue.
    Somehow, the malware GoPhoto.it downloaded itself to my computer. A few days ago in a desperate attempt to delete the program, I followed some instructions that I found online. I deleted the "supposed" file from the "Application Support" folder, but the program continues to plague my laptop! Please help, as I just got this computer a few months ago and would like to make it last as long as possible!
    Blessings and thanks in advance!

    Hi, I have the same problem occurred to lizholmes, and:
    -  I have been able to remove GoPhoto.it it from extensions in Safari.
    - The MAC now seams to switch off normally.
    What is still on the Dock is Mac_installer icon. I'm not able to remove it.
    Any suggestions?
    Thx

  • How do I totally remove plugins and extensions

    I can not remove extensions or plugins from 36.0.1 version. I do not have a "remove" button as is described in the page
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/di

    You should be able to remove extensions unless they are not installed in the profile folder, but are installed globally.
    Extensions that do not have a "Remove" button are installed by other software and are not under control of the Firefox extension manager.
    Such globally installed extensions are usually found via a registry scan or are installed in a location that Firefox scans for installed extensions.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/Installing_extensions
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/Adding_Extensions_using_the_Windows_Registry
    Extensions installed this way need to be removed via the settings (options/preferences) of the program that has added this extension or this program has to be uninstalled via "Control Panel > Programs".
    In Firefox you an only disable such an extension.
    Plugins are always installed by other software and are not under control of Firefox.
    You can only disable (Never Activate) plugins in Firefox in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins".

  • REMOVE A PLUGIN

    Recently i install a plugin in my final cut 7, now want to remove it but i don't know how , the name of this one is FxFactory i need some help thanks.

    Just to give the OP the benefit of the doubt...
    I installed FxFactory on my FCP6.0.3 and OX10.5.2. Locked up FCP. ALSO locked up the FxFactory app so I could NOT open it to uninstall it. Manually trashed all I could find which allowed me use again of FCP, but whenever I start up FCP I get a FxFactory Pro splash screen so obviously I missed something. But at least FCP works.
    So after reading this post I open up the disk image I still have on my computer and decided to choose the uninstall option. Went into Custom Install and couldn't find the uninstall option. Only Install. Afraid to install again just to go into the Action menu to uninstall as you suggested because last time it locked up the application where I couldn't even do that. So yes you did repeat yourself often and he didn't listen, but not quite as simple as it should be.
    BTW, I contacted FxFactory and they gave me an IMMEDIATE response--I was impressed as it was late at night. Said didn't work reliably on my OS and to upgrade. Not ready to do that yet but they get brownie points for responding quickly, although he never did answer my question as to exactly all the items I needed to delete when I was trying to do it manually.
