There has to be a way!! ive researched, and have not found a suitable answer. Anybody have anything?! I dont need mono, i only need a few versions of AU, etc etc, SO MANY PLUGINS. I HATE THEM. lol. somebody please help.

 

in my DAW I can hide in seconds all the waves plugins I dont need, mono or whatever

save space? well I have enough and really think space is a relative problem in 2025, I also put many plugins on a USB drive

it happens also that I need some plugins I had hidden so I just re-enable them in the DAW, or sometimes I receive sessions with waves plugins I have hidden and the daw recall em even if hidden

I know that it's possible deleting waves plugins manually, but I think it's more time consuming than hiding in seconds

thats my 2c

I remember doing it by going in and finding the Waveshells, first deleting any Waveshells you don't even need. Then you could right click-> show package content, and delete them out of the Waveshell. Or you find the .Bundle file, again right click ->show contents and delete them from there.

It's "safer" to just go in the Logic Plugin Manager. sort by manufacturer, and uncheck all the ones you do not want. they won't be gone, but they will be gone from your menus. This is what I would usually do with all the Mono plugins, because every once in a while you might actually want to use one, and so in one click you can put them back.

The better way is to only install as few as you can from clean state. Use Waves Central to uninstall and reinstall the ones you want.

I have not done this in a long time, so take a look around at those few possibilities. Now I just use none of them anyway, which is even easier.
