Follow these instructions to remove a D16 plug-in from your Mac:
Replace the [plugin-name] placeholder in the instructions below with the name of the product you want to uninstall.
Go to:
~/Library/Application Support/D16 Group
and remove the [plugin-name] subfolder.
To make sure you are in the correct folder, you should see a file named [plugin-name].d16key inside the [plugin-name] subfolder.
The ~ symbol represents your user’s home directory. The ~/Library folder is often hidden in Finder and may not be visible by default.
If you cannot see it, use this method to get here:
~/Library
Delete the following files (plug-ins):
[Macintosh HD]/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/[plugin-name].vst [Macintosh HD]/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/[plugin-name].vst3 [Macintosh HD]/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/[plugin-name].component [Macintosh HD]/Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/D16 Group/[plugin-name].aaxplugin
Delete this folder containing resources (skins and factory presets):
[Macintosh HD]/Library/Application Support/D16 Group/[plugin-name]
Empty the Trash to permanently remove the files.
Now the plugin is now completely removed from your system.
