    I've decided after 2 years to upgrade to the latest version of the complete waves bundle.
    I never really found a reason to upgrade before this. Everything ran with a hitch, and I wasn't really interested in any of the new plugs. But I've finally decided to pull the trigger on the latest Waves v 10.

    Basically, what is the best/proper way to delete the old waves so the new installation is pain free.
    (there's a ton of sub folders and what not, so I just wanted to ask someone in the know)
    Thanks

    Uninstall Waves Entirely

    1. Delete the main Waves folder
    /Applications.

    2. Delete the Waves preferences folder
    /Users/Your User/Library/Preferences

    3. Delete the waveshell files
    /Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins
    /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components /
    Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/MAS
    /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST
    /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3

    4. Empty trash

    5. You may reinstall now
