Can't Access Plugins and Effects

Hey all! Finally uploaded 3.0 but now I can no longer access most of my plugins or effects. When I try to enable them it says they’re already enabled. I’ve tried re-uploading Audacity, restarting my computer, and updating my computer (although I wasn’t able to update completely to Big Sur due to lack of storage space) Has anyone else had this problem and how did you solve it?

I don’t know how this could happen just with an upgrade to Audacity 3.0.

In any case, try this.

Go to ~/Library/Application Support/audacity

Note the “~” character at the start. The Library folder is hidden by default in macOS. One way of getting there is to use the Go menu in the Finder.
First, copy the underlined text above
Click on Go > Go to folder
Paste into the dialog and click Go.

Delete the files:
pluginregistry.dfg
pluginsettings.cfg

Start Audacity and see if you can enable your effects.
