hi,

go to macintosh hd>library>audio>plugins

there you find all the AU and VST plugins.delete the ones you want.done.

if you already deleted the plugins,do a plugin rescan in Live's preferences.

best,

Wasili

I faced the same problem today with a ''synthfix'' vst plug-in and a Wave Arts one and I am running on Leopard OSX.
My friend has the same problem running Leopard snow. The plug ins come up on the browser on the left everytime i
open Ableton Live. I want them removed 100% but no hope. The folder VST in Library appears to be empty 8O
Does anyone have a clue to this problem? I tried the plug-in rescan AND i deleted the AU and VST plug-ins i did not wanted as you advise. No luck...Any help appreciated, thanks

I followed the terminal commands which show all hidden files and extensions but no hope.

VST AND AU folder in Library are empty :roll:
