How to uninstall Frond CUT (macOS)

Before you start, quit your DAW and the Frond CUT app. Items in /Library and /Applications ask for your administrator password when you move them to the Trash. In Finder, use Go › Go to Folder… to open each location.

Before you delete

• Projects that use Frond CUT or Frond CUT FX keep their CUT settings (and Frond CUT's loop, which is saved inside the project), but CUT no longer opens in them once it is removed. To keep the sound, bounce or freeze those tracks first. Installing CUT again brings them back.
• Audio you dragged out with DRAG 8 BARS is kept in ~/Music/Frond Grid/CUT drags. Your DAW projects may still play those files, so deleting them leaves gaps in those projects.
• Your presets (~/Music/Frond/Presets/CUT and ~/Music/Frond/Presets/CUT FX) and your DRAG 8 BARS audio are not removed by the steps below. Delete them yourself only if you no longer need them.
• CUT has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.

1. What the installer put on your Mac

Move these to the Trash (skip any part you chose not to install):

• /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Frond CUT.component (instrument, Audio Unit)
• /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Frond CUT FX.component (effect, Audio Unit)
• /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Frond CUT.vst3 (instrument, VST3)
• /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Frond CUT FX.vst3 (effect, VST3)
• /Applications/Frond CUT.app (standalone app)
• /Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/CUT (the manual, the licence and the third-party notices)

Delete only the CUT folder inside Frond Grid: other Frond Grid products keep their files next to it. If Frond Grid is empty afterwards, you can delete it too.

2. What CUT creates in your home folder (only if you used it)

• ~/Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/CUT.settings: the help language you picked (English or Japanese), shared by Frond CUT and Frond CUT FX. Nothing else. Delete only this file: other Frond Grid products keep their own files in the same folder.
• ~/Library/Application Support/Frond CUT.settings: the standalone app's audio settings (output, sample rate, buffer size), its window position and its last state, including the loop you loaded (this file can be tens of MB).
• ~/Library/Application Support/Frond CUT.settings.damaged: only if the app once found the file above damaged and set it aside.
• ~/Library/Preferences/com.frondgrid.cut.plist: settings macOS keeps for the standalone app (for example, the folder the Open dialog showed last).
• ~/Music/Frond Grid/CUT drags/: the WAV files from DRAG 8 BARS (see "Before you delete"). When your DAW does not allow writing to Music, they are in ~/Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/CUT drags/ instead (a sandboxed DAW keeps them inside its own container).
• ~/Music/Frond/Presets/CUT/ and ~/Music/Frond/Presets/CUT FX/: presets you saved.

~/Library is hidden in Finder: in Go › Go to Folder…, type the path as shown.

3. The installer's receipts

macOS keeps a record (a receipt) of each part the installer put on your Mac. After deleting the files, you can remove the six receipts in Terminal. Each command asks for your password:

sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.cut.pkg.au
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.cut.pkg.fxau
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.cut.pkg.vst3
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.cut.pkg.fxvst3
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.cut.pkg.app
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.cut.pkg.resources

To check that none are left: pkgutil --pkgs | grep com.frondgrid.cut (no output means none).

How to uninstall Frond CUT (Windows)

Before you start, quit your DAW and the Frond CUT app.

Before you delete

• Projects that use Frond CUT or Frond CUT FX keep their CUT settings (and Frond CUT's loop, which is saved inside the project), but CUT no longer opens in them once it is removed. To keep the sound, render or freeze those tracks first. Installing CUT again brings them back.
• Audio you dragged out with DRAG 8 BARS is kept in Music\Frond Grid\CUT drags. Your DAW projects may still play those files, so deleting them leaves gaps in those projects.
• The uninstaller does not remove your presets, your DRAG 8 BARS audio or CUT's settings (see step 2). Delete them yourself only if you no longer need them.
• CUT has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.

1. Uninstall

• Windows 11: Start › Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find Frond CUT, click … and choose Uninstall.
• Windows 10: Start › Settings › Apps › Apps & features, click Frond CUT and choose Uninstall.

Windows asks for administrator permission. The uninstaller uses the language you picked when you installed, and removes:

• C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Frond CUT.vst3 (instrument) and Frond CUT FX.vst3 (effect)
• C:\Program Files\Frond Grid\Frond CUT (the standalone app, the manual, the licence, the third-party notices and the Windows notes)
• Start › Frond Grid › Frond CUT, and Frond CUT's entry in the list of apps

2. What stays (made by CUT while you used it)

• %APPDATA%\Frond Grid\CUT.settings: the help language you picked (English or Japanese), shared by Frond CUT and Frond CUT FX. Nothing else. Delete only this file: other Frond Grid products keep their own files in the same folder.
• %APPDATA%\Frond CUT\: the standalone app's settings, Frond CUT.settings (audio output, sample rate, buffer size, window position and its last state, including the loop you loaded), and Frond CUT.settings.damaged if the app once set a damaged file aside. This folder is CUT's only: you can delete the whole folder.
• Music\Frond Grid\CUT drags\: the WAV files from DRAG 8 BARS (see "Before you delete"). When your DAW does not allow writing to Music: %APPDATA%\Frond Grid\CUT drags\.
• Music\Frond\Presets\CUT\ and Music\Frond\Presets\CUT FX\: presets you saved.

To open a %APPDATA% location, type the path into the address bar of File Explorer. Music is your Music folder (C:\Users\<your name>\Music, unless you moved it).

How to uninstall Frond MOSAIC (macOS)

Before you start, quit your DAW and the Frond MOSAIC app. Items in /Library and /Applications ask for your administrator password when you move them to the Trash. In Finder, use Go › Go to Folder… to open each location.

Before you delete

• Your own loops and settings in the MOSAIC app go away too: the loop you loaded in the app, its audio settings and your HELP language.
• Your DAW projects keep their MOSAIC settings and loops (they are saved inside the project), but MOSAIC no longer opens in them once it is removed. To keep the sound, render or freeze those tracks first. Installing MOSAIC again brings them back.
• Your own sounds and presets in Music › Frond (MOSAIC My Sounds, Presets/MOSAIC, Presets/MOSAIC FX) are not removed by the steps below. Delete them yourself only if you no longer need them.
• Your DAW projects may use the audio you dragged with DRAG 8 BARS (step 2). Keep it while a project needs it.
• MOSAIC has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.

1. What the installer put on your Mac

Move these to the Trash:

• /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Frond MOSAIC.component (instrument, Audio Unit)
• /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Frond MOSAIC FX.component (effect, Audio Unit)
• /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Frond MOSAIC.vst3 (instrument, VST3)
• /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Frond MOSAIC FX.vst3 (effect, VST3)
• /Applications/Frond MOSAIC.app (standalone app)
• /Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/MOSAIC (the sound library, the manual, the licence and the credits)

Delete only the MOSAIC folder inside Frond Grid: other Frond Grid products keep their files next to it. If Frond Grid is empty afterwards, you can delete it too.

2. What MOSAIC creates in your home folder

• ~/Library/Application Support/Frond MOSAIC.settings: the standalone app's audio settings (output, sample rate, buffer size) and its last state, including the loop you loaded.
• ~/Library/Preferences/com.frondgrid.mosaic.plist: settings macOS keeps for the standalone app (for example, the folder the Open dialog showed last).
• ~/Library/Frond/MOSAIC help language.txt and, if you ever chose the sound library's folder yourself, ~/Library/Frond/MOSAIC materials folder.txt: your HELP language and that folder. Delete only these MOSAIC files: other Frond products may keep their own files in ~/Library/Frond.
• ~/Music/Frond Grid/MOSAIC drags/: the audio you dragged with DRAG 8 BARS (MOSAIC 1.0.1 and later). If that folder could not be written, it is ~/Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/MOSAIC drags/. Delete it only when no DAW project uses that audio. Other Frond Grid products keep their own drags next to it in Frond Grid.

~/Library is hidden in Finder: in Go › Go to Folder…, type the path as shown.

3. The installer's receipts

macOS keeps a record (a receipt) of each part the installer put on your Mac. After deleting the files, you can remove the six receipts in Terminal. Each command asks for your password:

sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.mosaic.pkg.vst3
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.mosaic.pkg.au
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.mosaic.pkg.app
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.mosaic.pkg.fxvst3
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.mosaic.pkg.fxau
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.mosaic.pkg.resources

To check that none are left: pkgutil --pkgs | grep com.frondgrid.mosaic (no output means none).

How to uninstall Frond MOSAIC (Windows)

Before you start, quit your DAW and the Frond MOSAIC app.

Before you delete

• Your DAW projects keep their MOSAIC settings and loops (they are saved inside the project), but MOSAIC no longer opens in them once it is removed. To keep the sound, render or freeze those tracks first. Installing MOSAIC again brings them back.
• The uninstaller does not remove your own sounds, your presets or MOSAIC's settings (see step 2). Delete them yourself only if you no longer need them.
• MOSAIC has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.

1. Uninstall

• Windows 11: Start › Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find Frond MOSAIC, click … and choose Uninstall.
• Windows 10: Start › Settings › Apps › Apps & features, click Frond MOSAIC and choose Uninstall.

Windows asks for administrator permission. The uninstaller uses the language you picked when you installed, and removes:

• C:\ProgramData\Frond Grid\MOSAIC (the sound library)
• C:\Program Files\Frond Grid\Frond MOSAIC (the standalone app, the manual, the licence, the third-party notices and the Windows notes)
• Start › Frond Grid › Frond MOSAIC, and Frond MOSAIC's entry in the list of apps

2. What stays (made by MOSAIC while you used it)

How to uninstall Frond SPRIG (macOS)

1. What the installer puts on your Mac

The built-in sounds are inside each plug-in and the app (no separate sound folder).

2. Files SPRIG makes in your home folder (only if you used it)

SPRIG has no user preset folder: its presets are built in, and a DAW project keeps SPRIG's settings inside the project. MIDI and WAV files made for dragging are first written to the system's temporary folder (Frond SPRIG), which macOS clears by itself.

3. Installer receipts

SPRIG's installer leaves five receipts. To see them: pkgutil --pkgs | grep com.frondgrid.sprig

com.frondgrid.sprig.pkg.app
com.frondgrid.sprig.pkg.au
com.frondgrid.sprig.pkg.midiau
com.frondgrid.sprig.pkg.vst3
com.frondgrid.sprig.pkg.resources

To see the files of one: pkgutil --files com.frondgrid.sprig.pkg.au
After deleting the files, remove the receipts (this deletes no files):

sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.sprig.pkg.app
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.sprig.pkg.au
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.sprig.pkg.midiau
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.sprig.pkg.vst3
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.sprig.pkg.resources

4. Before you delete

• Quit your DAW and the Frond SPRIG app first.
• Projects that use SPRIG will open without it. SPRIG's settings stay saved in the project and come back if you install SPRIG again.
• To keep the sound, bounce (export) or freeze the track first. SPRIG also gives MIDI: you can put its notes on a MIDI track instead (drag MIDI or the take onto a track). Installing SPRIG again brings everything back.
• SPRIG has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.
• WAV files in SPRIG drags may be used by your DAW projects. Delete them only if no project needs them.
• Delete only the SPRIG items. Other Frond Grid products use the same Frond Grid folders (/Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/, ~/Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/, ~/Music/Frond Grid/): do not delete those folders as a whole.
• Deleting from /Library and /Applications asks for an administrator password.
• In Finder, drag each item in section 1 to the Trash (Go > Go to Folder… to open /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and the others), then empty the Trash. Restart your DAW afterwards so it forgets SPRIG.

How to uninstall Frond SPRIG (Windows)

Before you start, quit your DAW and the Frond SPRIG app.

Before you delete

• Projects that use SPRIG keep their SPRIG settings (they are saved inside the project), but SPRIG no longer opens in them once it is removed. To keep the music, render the track, or drag SPRIG's MIDI into the project first. Installing SPRIG again brings them back.
• WAV files you dragged from SPRIG are kept in Music\Frond Grid\SPRIG drags. Your DAW projects may still play those files, so deleting them leaves gaps in those projects.
• The uninstaller does not remove your dragged audio or SPRIG's settings (see step 2). Delete them yourself only if you no longer need them.
• SPRIG has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.

1. Uninstall

• Windows 11: Start › Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find Frond SPRIG, click … and choose Uninstall.
• Windows 10: Start › Settings › Apps › Apps & features, click Frond SPRIG and choose Uninstall.

Windows asks for administrator permission. The uninstaller uses the language you picked when you installed, and removes:

• C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Frond SPRIG.vst3 (with its built-in sounds)
• C:\Program Files\Frond Grid\Frond SPRIG (the standalone app and its built-in sounds, the manual, the licence, the third-party notices and the Windows notes)
• Start › Frond Grid › Frond SPRIG, and Frond SPRIG's entry in the list of apps

2. What stays (made by SPRIG while you used it)

• %APPDATA%\Frond Grid\SPRIG.settings: the language you picked (English or Japanese) for the next SPRIG you add. Nothing else. Delete only this file: other Frond Grid products keep their own files in the same folder. SPRIG.settings.damaged is there only if SPRIG once set a damaged file aside.
• %APPDATA%\Frond SPRIG\: the standalone app's settings, Frond SPRIG.settings (audio and MIDI output devices, window position and the app's last SPRIG settings), and Frond SPRIG.settings.damaged if the app once set a damaged file aside. This folder is SPRIG's only: you can delete the whole folder.
• Music\Frond Grid\SPRIG drags\: WAV files you dragged from SPRIG into a DAW (see "Before you delete"). When your DAW does not allow writing to Music: %APPDATA%\Frond Grid\SPRIG drags\.
• %TEMP%\Frond SPRIG\: MIDI and WAV files SPRIG makes while you drag. Windows does not always clear this folder by itself; you can delete it while no DAW is open.
• Files you saved yourself (MIDI from Save MIDI, states from the app's Options › Save current state…), wherever you saved them.

SPRIG has no preset folder: its presets are built in.

To open a %APPDATA% or %TEMP% location, type the path into the address bar of File Explorer. Music is your Music folder (C:\Users\<your name>\Music, unless you moved it).

How to uninstall Frond WEFT (macOS)

For Frond WEFT 1.0.1, installed with the macOS installer (Frond-WEFT-1.0.1-macOS.pkg).

Before you start

• Quit your DAW and the Frond WEFT app.
• Projects that use WEFT keep WEFT's settings inside the project. Without WEFT installed they open without its sound. To keep the sound, bounce or freeze those tracks first. If you install WEFT again, the sound comes back.
• WEFT has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.
• Your own presets, DRAG 8 BARS recordings and the app's audio settings are kept in separate places (section 2). If you delete them, they are gone. Keep them if you may install WEFT again.
• The Frond Grid folders are shared with other Frond Grid products. Delete only the WEFT items listed here, not the whole Frond Grid folder.

1. What the installer put on your Mac

Move these to the Trash (Finder will ask for your administrator password):

The WEFT folder holds five text files: weft_EN.txt, weft_JA.txt, EULA_PLUGINS_EN.txt, EULA_PLUGINS_JA.txt and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES_WEFT.txt.

Then restart your DAW, or rescan its plug-ins. If WEFT still shows in the list, restart the Mac.

2. What WEFT made while you used it (in your home folder)

These are yours. The installer did not put them there, and removing WEFT does not delete them. Delete them only if you don't want them.

~ is your home folder. In Finder choose Go > Go to Folder and paste the path.

WEFT creates no file in ~/Library/Preferences.

3. Installer receipts

macOS keeps a receipt for each part the installer put in. Removing the files does not remove the receipts. They do no harm, but you can remove them.

List them:

pkgutil --pkgs | grep com.frondgrid.weft

WEFT has four:

• com.frondgrid.weft.pkg.vst3
• com.frondgrid.weft.pkg.au
• com.frondgrid.weft.pkg.app
• com.frondgrid.weft.pkg.resources

Forget them, one command each:

sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.weft.pkg.vst3
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.weft.pkg.au
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.weft.pkg.app
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.weft.pkg.resources

--forget removes only the receipt, not any file.

• Audio you dragged out with DRAG 8 BARS is kept in Music\Frond Grid\weft takes. Your DAW projects may still play those files, so deleting them leaves gaps in those projects.

The installer leaves one receipt per instrument and form (up to 18) plus one for the documents. To see them: pkgutil --pkgs | grep com.frondgrid.sixmaterials

com.frondgrid.sixmaterials.pkg.tension.app
com.frondgrid.sixmaterials.pkg.tension.au
com.frondgrid.sixmaterials.pkg.tension.vst3
… the same for strata, mineral, reed, facet and fold …
com.frondgrid.sixmaterials.pkg.resources

To see the files of one: pkgutil --files com.frondgrid.sixmaterials.pkg.tension.au
After deleting the files, remove all the receipts at once (this deletes no files):

for p in $(pkgutil --pkgs | grep '^com\.frondgrid\.sixmaterials\.'); do sudo pkgutil --forget "$p"; done

4. Before you delete

• Quit your DAW and the Six Materials apps first.
• Projects that use Six Materials will open without it. Its settings stay saved in the project and come back if you install it again.
• To keep the sound, bounce (export) or freeze the track first.
• Your sounds and recordings in ~/Music are yours: keep them if you may reinstall, or copy them elsewhere first.
• Six Materials has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.
• Delete only the Six Materials items. Other Frond Grid products use the same Frond Grid folders (/Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/, ~/Music/Frond/, ~/Music/Frond Grid/): do not delete those folders as a whole.
• Deleting from /Library and /Applications asks for an administrator password.
• In Finder, drag each item in section 1 to the Trash (Go > Go to Folder… to open /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and the others), then empty the Trash. Restart your DAW afterwards so it forgets Six Materials.

How to uninstall Six Materials (Windows)

Before you start, quit your DAW and the Six Materials apps.

Before you delete

• Projects that use Six Materials keep its settings (they are saved inside the project), but the instruments no longer open in them once they are removed. To keep the music, render the track first. Installing Six Materials again brings them back.
• Six Materials has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.

1. Uninstall

• Windows 11: Start › Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find Six Materials, click … and choose Uninstall.
• Windows 10: Start › Settings › Apps › Apps & features, click Six Materials and choose Uninstall.

Windows asks for administrator permission. The uninstaller removes:

• C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Frond Tension.vst3 and the other five (Frond Strata, Frond Mineral, Frond Reed, Frond Facet, Frond Fold)
• C:\Program Files\Frond Grid\Six Materials (the six standalone apps, the manual, the comparison MIDI, the licence, the third-party notices and the Windows notes)
• Start › Frond Grid › Six Materials, and Six Materials' entry in the list of apps

2. What stays (made by Six Materials while you used it)

• %APPDATA%\Frond Tension.settings and the same for the other apps you opened: the standalone apps' settings (audio and MIDI devices, window position, last sound).
• %APPDATA%\Frond Grid\Six Materials\WebView2\: data Windows keeps for the apps' windows. This folder is Six Materials' only: you can delete it.
• Music\Frond\Presets\Six Materials\: your own sounds (Save, MY SOUNDS).
• Music\Frond Grid\Six Materials Takes\: your recordings (REC).

Keep your sounds and recordings if you may reinstall. Other Frond Grid products use the same Frond Grid and Frond folders: delete only the Six Materials items.

To open a %APPDATA% location, type the path into the address bar of File Explorer.

How to uninstall Frond FIELD (macOS)

1. What the installer puts on your Mac

FIELD is not a plug-in: nothing is installed in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins.

2. Files FIELD makes in your home folder (only if you used it)

3. Installer receipt

FIELD's installer leaves one receipt. To see it: pkgutil --pkgs | grep com.frondgrid.field

com.frondgrid.field.pkg

To see its files: pkgutil --files com.frondgrid.field.pkg
After deleting the app, remove the receipt (this deletes no files):

sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.field.pkg

4. Before you delete

• Quit Frond FIELD first. It saves your last session when it quits.
• Your own session files and recordings are not touched. Keep them if you may install FIELD again: sessions open in any later version.
• FIELD has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.
• Delete only the FIELD items. Other Frond Grid products use the same Frond Grid folder (~/Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/): delete only the Field folder inside it, not the whole folder.
• Deleting from /Applications may ask for an administrator password.
• In Finder, drag Frond FIELD.app from Applications to the Trash, then empty the Trash. To remove the files in section 2, use Go > Go to Folder… with each path.

How to uninstall Frond FIELD (Windows)

To remove FIELD:
  1. Quit FIELD (File > Exit).
  2. Windows 11: Settings > Apps > Installed apps > "Frond FIELD" > ... > Uninstall.
     Windows 10: Settings > Apps > Apps & features > "Frond FIELD" > Uninstall.
     (Or run "Uninstall Frond FIELD.exe" in C:\Program Files\Frond Grid\Frond FIELD.)
  3. Follow the uninstaller. It removes the app, its folder, the Start menu entry and the .fieldsession link.
These stay when you remove FIELD (they are yours). Delete them by hand if you want them gone:
  Your last session, Open Recent and the window's size:  %APPDATA%\Frond Grid\Field\
  The screen's browser data (safe to delete):            %LOCALAPPDATA%\Frond Grid\Field\WebView2\
  Takes written for DRAG WAV (safe to delete):           %TEMP%\Field takes\
  Your saved sessions and exported WAV files:            wherever you saved them
(Paste a line such as %APPDATA%\Frond Grid into the File Explorer address bar to open it.)

How to uninstall Frond RELAY (macOS)

1. What the installer puts on your Mac

All drum sounds are synthesised inside the plug-ins and the app (no sound folder).

2. Files Relay makes in your home folder (only if you used it)

Relay has no preset folder: a DAW project keeps Relay's network and settings inside the project.

3. Installer receipts

Relay's installer leaves four receipts. To see them: pkgutil --pkgs | grep com.frondgrid.relay

com.frondgrid.relay.pkg.relay.app
com.frondgrid.relay.pkg.relay.au
com.frondgrid.relay.pkg.relay.vst3
com.frondgrid.relay.pkg.resources

To see the files of one: pkgutil --files com.frondgrid.relay.pkg.relay.au
After deleting the files, remove the receipts (this deletes no files):

sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.relay.pkg.relay.app
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.relay.pkg.relay.au
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.relay.pkg.relay.vst3
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.relay.pkg.resources

4. Before you delete

• Quit your DAW and the Frond Relay app first.
• Projects that use Relay will open without it. Relay's network and settings stay saved in the project and come back if you install Relay again.
• To keep the sound, bounce (export) or freeze the track first.
• Relay has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.
• Takes in Relay recordings are your files; delete them only if you no longer need them.
• Delete only the Relay items. Other Frond Grid products use the same Frond Grid folders (/Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/, ~/Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/, ~/Music/Frond Grid/, /Applications/Frond Grid/): do not delete those folders as a whole.
• Deleting from /Library and /Applications asks for an administrator password.
• In Finder, drag each item in section 1 to the Trash (Go > Go to Folder… to open /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and the others), then empty the Trash. Restart your DAW afterwards so it forgets Relay.

How to uninstall Frond Relay (Windows)

Before you start, quit your DAW and the Frond Relay app.

Before you delete

• Projects that use Relay keep its settings, the map and your own sounds (they are saved inside the project), but Relay no longer opens in them once it is removed. To keep the music, render the track first. Installing Relay again brings them back.
• Relay has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.

1. Uninstall

• Windows 11: Start › Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find Frond Relay, click … and choose Uninstall.
• Windows 10: Start › Settings › Apps › Apps & features, click Frond Relay and choose Uninstall.

Windows asks for administrator permission. The uninstaller removes:

• C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Frond Relay.vst3
• C:\Program Files\Frond Grid\Frond Relay (the standalone app, the manual, the licence, the third-party notices and the Windows notes)
• Start › Frond Grid › Frond Relay, and Relay's entry in the list of apps

2. What stays (made by Relay while you used it)

• %APPDATA%\Frond Relay.settings: the standalone app's settings (audio and MIDI devices, window position and the app's last Relay settings).
• %APPDATA%\Frond Grid\Relay.settings: the help language and look you picked.
• %APPDATA%\Frond Grid\Relay WebView2\: the web view's working files for Relay's window. You can delete the whole folder.
• Recordings you made with REC: Music\Frond Grid\Relay recordings\ in your user folder (or %APPDATA%\Frond Grid\Relay recordings\ when Music could not be written). They are yours: delete them only if you no longer want them.

Relay has no preset folder: its presets and kits are built in, and your own sounds are kept inside your projects.

To open a %APPDATA% location, type the path into the address bar of File Explorer.

Uninstalling Frond Colony (Mac)

Quit your DAW and the Colony app first.

1. What the installer puts on your Mac

2. Files Colony makes in your home folder

This file is kept when you delete the app and plug-ins, so installing again brings back your audio device and last state. To remove Colony completely, delete it too.
Only the app writes one file: ~/Library/Application Support/Frond Colony.settings (the audio device and the app's last state).
The plug-ins write nothing: a DAW project keeps Colony's settings inside the project. The 64 presets are built in.
(If that file was ever damaged, the app set it aside as Frond Colony.settings.damaged next to it; delete that too.)

3. Installer receipts

To see them: pkgutil --pkgs | grep com.frondgrid.colony

com.frondgrid.colony.pkg.app
com.frondgrid.colony.pkg.vst3
com.frondgrid.colony.pkg.au
com.frondgrid.colony.pkg.resources

After deleting the files, remove the receipts (this deletes no files):

sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.colony.pkg.app
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.colony.pkg.vst3
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.colony.pkg.au
sudo pkgutil --forget com.frondgrid.colony.pkg.resources

4. Before you delete

• Projects that use Frond Colony open without it; its settings stay in the project and come back if you install it again.
• To keep the sound, bounce (export) or freeze the track first.
• Colony has no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.
• Other Frond Grid products share /Library/Application Support/Frond Grid/: delete only its Colony folder.
• Deleting from /Library and /Applications asks for an administrator password.
• In Finder, drag each item in sections 1 and 2 to the Trash (Go › Go to Folder… opens each folder), then empty the Trash. Restart your DAW afterwards.

Uninstalling Frond Colony (Windows)

Quit your DAW and the Colony app first.

Before you delete

• Projects that use Frond Colony keep its settings inside the project, but will not play it after it is removed. To keep the sound, export the track first. Installing again brings everything back.
• There is no licence activation, so there is nothing to deactivate.

1. Remove

• Windows 11: Start › Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find Frond Colony, … › Uninstall.
• Windows 10: Start › Settings › Apps › Apps & features, select Frond Colony, Uninstall.

Windows asks for administrator permission. This removes:

• C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Frond Colony.vst3
• C:\Program Files\Frond Grid\Frond Colony (the Colony app, the manuals, the licence, the font licence)
• Frond Colony in the list of apps and the Start menu

2. What stays

The uninstaller keeps the app's own file on purpose, so installing again brings back your audio device and last state. To remove Colony completely, delete it too:
Only if you used the Colony app: %APPDATA%\Frond Colony.settings (the audio device and the app's last state). To remove it, type %APPDATA% in the File Explorer address bar and delete Frond Colony.settings (and Frond Colony.settings.damaged if it is there).
The plug-in writes nothing: a DAW project keeps Colony's settings inside the project.
