How to fix "File not found. Please make sure that external drives are connected,"

Azuriti

I want to use Shreddage 3 Serpent, but when I try to open it, I get this error message. The weird part is that this plugin was working a few days ago, so I have no idea why it stopped working all of a sudden. All my other plugins are located in the same folder as the non-working one and they all work just fine. How do I fix this???

Update: I fixed it! I just had to reinstall and redirect where the plugin is and it works again!

Does your plugin show up in Native Access by chance?

I would honestly just try to reinstall the plugin before I spent too much time going down a rabbit hole.

It does show up in Native Access. I've tried reinstalling it, but that didn't work.

Actually, something interesting happened. I tried to uninstall it through Native Access (I was able to reinstall it through Pulse before), and I got this error message despite the folder actually being there.

Can you try manually removing the Shreddage 3 Serpent folder in the FL Studio/PLUGINS folder in Windows/File Explorer?

And just to double check, you're logged into Windows as the user azuriti? I'm assuming yes, but want to make sure. Just trying to eliminate simple issues.

I'm logged in on a Mac under my name, and I just removed the plugin from the PLUGINS folder that I have it in
