How do I remove iTunes plug-ins after Mac OS X Lion upgrade?

I'm down with ditching my visualizer plugins to use Lion-friendly 64-bit iTunes 10.4, but they're not visible to me in the iTunes plug-ins folder, and thus, I cannot remove them. How do I drop these things? I tried to enable my admin username as the root user in hopes that that might work (I'm no Mac guru, I just followed instructions from an internet search), but still I can't find them. Any help? (And please, in layman's terms. I'm serious about not being a guru. I'm resourceful at researching, but my behind-the-scenes computer knowledge is very limited, at best.)

MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.7)

I am getting an error with iTonerSupport not in 64bit mode.

It seems in my case this folder: /Users/[yourusername]/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins is no longer viewable in the finder window.

I had to navigate to this folder via the terminal comand line and delete the iTonerSupport.bundle using rm -r command.

Hope this helps.

In the Finder, click the Go menu and hold the Option key. The Library folder will appear under the Go menu until you release the Option key.

Zwarbotz, I'm afraid terminal commands are beyond my understanding (I'm familiar with what they are, but am not nearly experienced enough to mess with them), though I'm sure that would work if I knew what I was doing! Jim, that li'l trick saved me so much grief! From one San Diegan to another, thanks much. 🙂

My take Under Lion OS 10.7 In the Finder go to Macintosh HD/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins and delete the offending plug ins. In my case I deleted all of them.
