Why Can't I Access My Audio Plugins?

Hello;

I want to remove a few audio plugins so I went to - Library/Audio/Plug-ins - and all the files - components, VST's - etc. are empty. Now, I have been using those plugins in audio production so I know they exist. Why then are they not showing up?

Thanks,

Did you look in both /Library/Audio/Plug-ins & ~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins?

Copy then paste each into Finder > Go > Go to Folder… one at a time.

/Library/Audio/Plug-ins

~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins

I found them, thanks. I was in the wrong library, which might seem obvious.

Happy Holidays
