    Hi, I have been carrying a lot of unused Waves plugins with me and now I can no longer tell which Plugins are Waves as the .components files dont have any info or metadata to search by. I would like to delete them all. Any suggestions how to filter them out? Thanks in advance!

    Make a list of the Waves plugins that you use.
    I would delete and reinstall Waves and only install the plugins that you really need.

    you won't find individual components they all are included in waveshell. the only way is remove all and reinstall necessary ones.

    Haven´t used Waves Plugins for some years now but i remember tools that analyzed the Wavesshell and splitted the Plugins in single Plugs... "vstwrapperbuilder" and "shell2vst". Are they still available and working?

    I recently installed Waves V13 (Mac). I used to have V11.

    But now Logic X does its Waves scan each time I launch it. Over a 1,000 plug-ins. Surely this won't do.

    Someone said that you should delete the old WaveShell plug-in(s) that isn't in use anymore - but which one is it?

    My Library/Components folder includes these:

    - WaveShell1-AU 12.7 component
    - WaveShell2-AU 13.0 component
    - WaveShell1-AU 13.0 component
