Uninstall Waves Products
Last updated on: 10/19/2020 4:42:07 AM

Follow these instructions to uninstall Waves plugins and applications using Waves Central or uninstall unused individual plugins manually.

Note that Waves Central allows you to uninstall Waves plugins by version only. For instance, you can only uninstall all your Waves V12 plugins at once—or all your Waves V10 plugins at once.

Individual plugins must be removed manually, as described below.
Waves applications (such as SuperRack or eMotion LV1) and Waves SoundGrid I/O drivers can only be uninstalled together as one.

Uninstall via Waves Central:

1. Quit all audio apps.
2. Launch the Waves Central application:
   • Windows: via the desktop shortcut or Start Menu > All Programs > Waves Central.
   • Mac: Applications > Waves Central.
3. Log into Waves Central using your Waves account information.
4. Go to the Settings tab.
5. Under Maintenance, select the products/version you wish to uninstall in the dropdown menu, and click Uninstall.

Uninstall unused individual plugins manually:

1. Quit all audio apps.
2. Navigate to the relevant plugin version folder:
   • Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Plug-Ins V12 (or V11/V10/V9, whichever version is installed on your device).
   • Mac: Macintosh HD > Applications > Waves > Plug-Ins V12 (or V11/V10/V9, whichever version is installed on your device).
3. The plugin file you wish to remove will be named after the plugin, in this format: [PluginName].bundle. For example, the plugin file for Reel ADT will be named Reel ADT.bundle.
4. Delete the plugin file/s you wish to remove (or move to a backup folder).
5. Clear Waves preferences:
   Windows:
   • Click the Windows key + ‘R’ and enter %appdata%, click Enter.
   • Delete the Waves folder inside the 'Roaming' folder that appears.
   Mac: Delete the "Waves Preferences" folder located at HD > Users > Current user > Library > Preferences (this folder is accessed by going to the Go menu and holding down the Alt\option key. This will reveal the Library option).

 

V.R is trash, I think: recently their Native.Instruments.Absynth.v5.3.4.CE-V.R
standalone freezes often, while the VST version works okay from their package. At least this time they allowed where to install the VST, but of course all the samples installed to C: by default - typical V.R junk method. Anyway. Can't complain if there is only a V.R release from a software I can't buy..

 

Hi @baszermaszer, i understand it. I always install R2R, but sometimes you can't get past V.R, some things go well - some don't. You would be advised to uninstall this and install this version: Native Instruments - Absynth 5 v5.2.1 Update - 883 MB - 06.10.2014 - R2R
