Uninstalling

Uninstall plugins

Windows

On Windows, Floe can be uninstalled using the standard method for uninstalling software, via the ‘Add or Remove Programs’ control panel. See the Windows documentation here.

Close your DAW before running the uninstaller.

This uninstalls Floe, but not libraries or presets. Follow the instructions below to delete libraries and presets.

This uninstaller also supports uninstalling Mirage, the predecessor to Floe.

macOS

We don’t have an uninstaller program for macOS. Please follow the manual uninstall instructions below.

Windows and macOS
  1. Open Floe
  2. Click on the cog icon at the top.
  3. Open the ‘Folders’ tab.

  5. Delete all files in the folder.

Repeat this for each folder in Floe preferences panel.
