Uninstalling legacy products on macOS

MacOS Catalina has increased the security of the ~/Documents location where presets are stored. This may cause the uninstallation process not to be completed. Please delete iZotope product resources manually from these locations:

Plug-ins:

  • AAX: Mac HD > Library > Application Support > Avid > Audio > Plug-ins
  • RTAS: Mac HD > Library > Application Support > Digidesign > Audio > Plug-ins
  • AU: Mac HD > Library > Audio > Plug-ins > Components
  • VST: Mac HD > Library > Audio > Plug-ins > VST
  • VST 3: Mac HD > Library > Audio > Plug-ins > VST 3
     

Program Data:

  • Mac HD > Applications (if applicable; not all products offer standalone app)
  • Mac HD > Library > Application Support > iZotope
     

Documents / Presets:

  • Mac HD > Users > [Username] > Documents > iZotope > *Product Name*
     

Some older products like iDrum, Nectar Elements, etc. don't offer an uninstaller. If you can't find the uninstaller, please follow these steps:

  1. Run the product installer. If you need to re-download the installer, log in to your iZotope account and open the Legacy Products page.
  2. On the 'Installation Type' screen, choose 'Uninstall' and proceed.
