Uninstalling

Windows

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

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. But you can manually uninstall Floe by deleting its files.

Manual Uninstall

Delete libraries and presets

  1. Open Floe
  2. Click on the cog icon at the top.
  3. Open the ‘Folders’ tab.
  4. For each of the paths click the ‘open folder’ icon: . This will open the folder in your file manager.
  5. Delete all files in the folder.

Repeat this for each folder in Floe preferences panel.

Delete Floe

Floe consists of plugin files, and a preferences file. The preferences file is normally tiny: around 1 Kb in size. Plugins files are normally around 15 MB in size.

Delete the following files:

  • Preferences (may not exist): /Users/Shared/Floe/Preferences/floe.ini
  • CLAP: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/Floe.clap
  • VST3: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Floe.vst3
