Trying to uninstall SDX expansions. Why is this so difficult?

[DJ Astrofreq]

I used the uninstaller to remove two SDX expansions from my computer, but the amount of HD space hasn’t changed. I should have about 300GB of storage open up. Can someone direct me to the right paths on my Mac to manually delete the files? BTW, I had to reinstall both libraries entirely just to get the Uninstall option to show. This is an overly frustrating experience that seems needlessly complicated. Thanks for any help.

If the SDXs are still installed, the paths are shown in the Product Manager in Details > Installation Info.

If your download location is on the same disk as where the SDXs were installed and the disk is in the APFS format, then the downloads and the installations share the same disk space (for the most part). That means that no disk space will be freed if you uninstall and keep the downloads. You would also need to delete the downloads to free up space.

Thank you Olof,

I appreciate the help. I seemed to have found the physical files and deleted them. It seems like an extra step that I had to fully reinstall them to have the “uninstall” option show up.
