Ableton VST Folders, Help please!

Post by bbart318 » Wed Feb 08, 2012 4:21 am

I can't figure this out for the life of me...

Basically I've downloaded Massive blah blah, had to reinstall due to some errors. Upon manually deleting all of the massive files scattered on my mac, Massive is STILL usable in my Live?
The VST never disappeared in Live... which made me go into my Bart/Library/Audio/Plug-ins again to find the error. Now, Massive was not found in either Components or the VST Folder, yet when I browse my Lives custom VST folder from Lives preferences, the VST still appears along with Sausage Fattener..which I have yet to find on my computer.

Here are a few Screenies to show you what I'm dealing with, any help is much appreciated..
Both show my VST folders in the end, with different contents.. rather confusing to me.

My only guess is that Lives "Local" Folder is getting the VST from a Library folder even further back then my User directory, which again I don't know how to access.
