Deleted plugins still show on Browser! My OCD on full BLAST!

[xenomachino1]

That's right, no matter what I do they still show. I've manually deleted the component and vst files from their locations and nothing, they still show. I have uninstalled them with their respective uninstall software (when applicable)... nothing. I tried resetting LIVE, that did't work.

I did everything from this post:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=244925

didn't help either.

I deleted and re-downloaded the latest version of Live 11. They still show in the re-downloaded version. How is this possible? lol. Going nuts over here.

Ableton Forum Gods please help.

Macbook M1 Air
OS Monterey 12.5.1
Ableton Live 11 Beta 11.2b12 and latest official version of Live 11 Suite


thanks

…have you tried shutting down the computer completely (not just restarting)?…try rescanning plugins from within live‘s preferences…

On OSX plugins can be in 2 different but "same looking" directories:
Macintosh HD/Users/YOURNAME/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins
or
Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins

Also, you said they're still showing up in your Browser, but are they loading?

You're my hero. Turning off the computer did it.

Gracias

Hi I'm having the same problem can someone please help me out...
so, I downloaded a free plugin from audio damage like 2 weeks ago. and it's been making my Daw run extremely slow so I deleted all the files out of my computer but for some reason it's still in Ableton and it still works like it's still installed in my pc.. I can't find the excess files anywhere in my pc I tried everything I reset live also I don't know what to do. It's really slowing me down and instead of working on what im supposed to be working on I'm looking for these files in my pc.. I'm on windows 10 by the way. The plugin is called fuzzplus3 don't ever download it. it will 100 percent fk ur pc up

Did you contact audiodamage and ask them where all the files are installed?
