audio plug ins (stillwell audio) appear even after deleted

I had some stillwell audio plug ins, they didnt ned them anymore so i deleted them, did a system search and deleted all the files that have to relate to stillwell plug ins, then went on to ableton and logic(I installed logic after the start of the iusse) and they still appeared and are still fully functional, so I went on searching for these files even deeper and couldent find them, they dont exist when i search them. so i contacted stillwell customer service and they listed how to find the files and i did all what they said and it still shows up, so now im asking the apple community, DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHATS GOING ON!!

thanks, teliik

Hello TELIIK,

It sounds like you just did a search for the plug-ins, but I found an article that tells you exactly where to look for these plug-ins:

Finding Audio Units plug-ins on your computer

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1295

The important part of this article states:

The Apple Audio Units plug-ins are built into the operating system and do not appear as discrete files. Plug-ins from other manufacturers appear as individual components on your hard disk. They may be found in two places:

/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components ("~" represents your home directory.)

The ~/Library is a hidden folder in Lion and Mountain Lion. You can find instructions for accessing it here:

OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11395

The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.

I hope this helps you locate those those plug-ins!

Best,

Sheila M.
