how do i remove FxFactory plugins from FCP?

hey everyone, i was wondering if someone could help me remove the FxFactory plugins.
i just installed the FxFactory software, just to check some of the filters, but i decided to get rid of it, so i deleted the FxFactory software from my application. Also i checked the plugin folder under library/preference/finalcutpro user data/plugins to see if there was any FxFactory folder that i needed to delete, but i couln't locate any.

However, I still have those 15 day Trial filters under my effects, and also when i load FCP i see a sign for FxFactory.
How do i completely remove everything from FxFactory? i have bunch of "NI" filters/transitions in my effects. please help...

thanx

Launch the FX Factory application.

It's in the Applications folder

There is an uninstall command. It's under the Actions menu choice

Plugins can be stored in any of the following locations (from most likely to least likely):

1. /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins
2. (user directory)/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Plugins
3. /Library/Plugins/FxPlug
4. ~/Library/Plugins/FxPlug
5. /Applications/Final Cut Pro/Content/Plug-ins/ (inside the app bundle itself)

Some plugins also create folders in Application Support (on either root or home).
