How to remove an instrument from Native Access

tracyross

I have a couple instruments that aren't working so I'd like to remove them. I'm sure it's super easy and I'm just missing something obvious.

Thanks!

As NI don’t see fit to provide an uninstaller within NA it’s not as straight forward as it should be. I had to remove them manually by finding all traces in the usual folder locations (including any custom locations). Not ideal but it worked. Don’t forget to remove their corresponding .dll / .vst3 files wherever you’ve located them. They will still show in NA as available for install.

Thank you!

In case you're on Windows, it's much easier: Simply use the Programs and Features utility.

Thanks, but not all the instruments appear as Windows Programs.
