Can't remove/uninstall 3rd part libraries in Kontakt 8 for Windows 11

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi folks…

I have Windows 11 OS.

I'm trying to figure out how to completely remove a library from Kontakt. i removed it using Kontakt 8 library management, i have uninstalled the whole libraries, fully removed the library folder, fully removed "regedit" cache, fully removed Kontakt 8 and then re-installed it from default, but as you can see in the picture embedded below it still shows in the libraries menu:

Now, have a look on the library management as it is not there anymore as I removed it. So it shouldn't appears in Kontakt 8 library, right?

Hey @allienage Sorry to stumble upon your thread so late after the facts. Are you still experiencing this issue? How did you uninstall the library? Did you use the Native Access uninstall function?

You can look if there are any json files for the library you have uninstalled here: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Native Instruments\installed_products\name of product.json file.

If you delete that file it should no longer show as installed in Native Access.

i removed it using Kontakt 8 library management, i have uninstalled the whole libraries, fully removed the library folder, fully removed "regedit" cache, fully removed Kontakt 8

Did you also reinitialize the KONTAKT 8 Database ?
