Uninstall NI Soft Synths
Posted on: 28.02.2012 by Dorie Scelzo
On OS X.

How do you do it?

There aren't uninstallers. Service Center seems as useless as always. And TrashMe doesn't find all of the files I know are associated with some of the crap I want to get rid of.

I've had Absynth, FM8, and Massive demos installed for a long time and haven't used them since about 2 days into the demo periods. I want to get rid of them. I also kinda want to get rid of Komplete Elements and Guitar Rig selection for Maschine as I never use them.

Basically, I want to get rid of everything NI on my hard drive except Maschine and its expansions. And there aren't any uninstallers. If I just delete the apps and plugins, a whole mess of crap will be left behind, and the presets won't be deleted from my Maschine library.

Sweet. That's what I was looking for.

And I do know where to find those files (or at least how to find them), but doing it that way is at least as convenient. I'm not really sure why it's bothering me so much all of a sudden except that it's finally getting in the way of me finding the sounds I actually want to use in Maschine

That's what TrashMe is, and it doesn't find the sound libraries

I use a free app called AppCleaner.

it searches your HD for anything related to the app you have installed. Try it out.
