Please create some uninstaller executables for libraries

[mkoff]

Pardon me.. if I find this entire situation ridiculous and silly.

Toontrack, may I ask why you guys didn’t just write some separate uninstaller executables?     Like why do I need to waste that much storage space or download 200+Gb worth of data just to uninstall my Superior Drummer 3 sound libraries?

I put all my VST and DAWS on a different computer earlier this year.   I’m going to go ahead and redownload this stuff once.

I love the Toontrack products I own.   But… nobody thought it might be more convenient for the end-user to add an uninstaller to the extracted libraries rather than tie it into the installer?

Totally hear you—this does feel like an unnecessary hassle. Having standalone uninstallers would make things so much easier, especially for users managing multiple systems or limited storage. Hopefully Toontrack takes this feedback seriously for future updates. The products are awesome, but the user experience around library management definitely needs work.

Plus one from my side. I am actually wasting the whole night just to uninstall SDX expansions for moving onto another drive. Please give us another way to do … :o)

Hi,
Sound Libraries can be moved and re-linked, no need to uninstall/reinstall them.

Hi John,

thank you very much for your reply. Obviously I made a big mistake – as I completely overhaul my PC I already uninstalled SD3 and EZD2/3 before working with the Expansions. I thought I could simply use the “change path” option. but here the Product Manager did not allow me to do this. So if I understood well: I will re-install SD3 on the new drive and leave the Expansions on the old place. After that I can move it as describe in the links. Will give it a try and come back if there is still a challange.
