Scan plugins not updating list

Post by madlab » Sat Aug 30, 2025 10:12 am

I've cleaned my plugins folder by getting rid of some Pa demos for example. Then rescanned the plugins but the list still holds those I suppressed. Do I have to delete some cache files, or those in the Application support folder ?

Try holding SHIFT while clicking the Scan button in Live's Prefs.
This should perform a "deep scan" and might solve your issue.
