in Komplete Kontrol

I have an uninstalled VST that is just stuck on user-directory. I can't find any option to remove this Balinese Gamelan. Just options to save presets to user directory, but not to remove.

    Thanks. I had already uninstalled through Native Instruments and rescanned Komplete. Than I tried deleting the library-files, than it disappeared. And than reappeared again when I added my third party libraries. Found that balinese gamelan had somehow hid itself inside one of my third party folders! Than I removed the balinese related files and folders. And than it finally disappeared after rescanning. Thanks for help. Than I learned some troubleshooting if I get other problems, if it wasn't the actual problem this time.

    Balinese Gamelan is a Kontakt library from Native Instruments and as such not a VST and also not a user library.

    After un-installation then also run the NI reg tool and remove Balinese Gamelan if still on the list.

    Then you can try a rescan in K.K. standalone preferences to see if that removes the library from the list.

    Then if that does not remove it then try the Reinitializing the Komplete Kontrol Database as described in the My Komplete Kontrol Browser is Empty or Incomplete (rescanning the Database could take a long time on some systems)

    Have you used the uninstall feature of Native Access for this library?

    If presets still show in Komplete Kontrol you should rescan here:

    If it doesn't work out, try resetting the database:

    Reinitialize the Komplete Kontrol Database

    1. Note: The User Library folder is hidden. See this article for instructions to access hidden macOS folders.
    2. Search through the Native Instruments folder at this location to find the Komplete Kontrol folder.
    3. Note: Deleting other NI product folders could result in unexpected behavior with other applications.
    4. Reboot your computer and reopen the Komplete Kontrol software to check that the issue has been resolved.
