    I'm doing a major clean up of my Kontakt libraries getting rid of bad ones or ones I will never use.
    I tried the KLU app. The info says you can remove libraries but no instructions on how to do this.

    I tried to do it manually
    deleting the .xml file from:
    Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Service Center

    Deleted the .plist file from:
    Library/Preferences
    and also from:
    User-specific* Library/Preferences

    They still show up in K8.

    There must be an easier way to do this?
