Tips

You can use the search bar to find a specific plugin format (e.g. AU, AAX) or plugin company (e.g. Wide Blue Sound). The search goes deeper than what you see in the plugin names.
Double-clicking a package in the list is a shortcut for selecting it and clicking the 'View Package' button.
When Viewing a Package, right-click a file to Reveal in Finder.
Select multiple packages by holding CMD while selecting.
Audio Plugin Uninstaller maintains a log-file to remember which packages have been removed as well as a log-file per uninstallation (stored for 30 days). You can access the log-files from the help menu.

<aside> 💡 To delete an entire plugin format

Do a search for the unwanted plugin format. For best results, use the exact file extension (e.g. .aaxplugin, .component).
Hold CMD and click the items that only include the unwanted plugin format (skip lines with multiple plugin formats). Be very careful. This will be a clean uninstall.
In Finder, go to the plugin folder and delete the contents. This is obviously a dirty uninstall. Some plugins may have a proprietary uninstaller, but even those may not clean up the extra files. Here are the common plugin folders (⌘⇧G in Finder)
- AAX: /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-ins/
- AU: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
- VST: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/
- VST3: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
- CLAP /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/

Note about Audio Units: these are the trickiest beacuse many of them are just wrapped VSTs, and literally contain a .vst file inside the .component file that show up in the search results. </aside>
