I had loads of plugins in the New list of the plugin manager. I deleted them from the folder, and they still showed in New. Disabling took them to the now cluttered Disabled list. The Clear button does nothing.
How can I get rid of them?

Re: Clearing unused plugins
The Plug-in Manager has no way at the moment of removing New or Disabled plugins from its list. I'm inclined to think that when launching, the Plug-in Manager should remove plugins from the list if it does not see the plugin in the listed path.themickster wrote:I had loads of plugins in the New list of the plugin manager.

The only way you can currently remove the redundant entries is to exit Audacity then delete the file
"Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Application Data\Audacity\pluginregistry.cfg".
If you cannot see the "Application Data" folder, type
Code: Select all
