Note: Your Liquid Rhythm project files might have saved to this location. Please be sure to back up any of your work before deleting them!
delete /Users/<username>/LiquidRhythm
delete /Library/Application Support/LiquidRhythm
delete /Library/Application Support/WaveDNA
If you have installed much older versions of Liquid Rhythm (pre-1.4.x), you may also have the following directory to remove:delete /LiquidRhythm
You may also wish to delete all in-application User Preference files, which are located at the following locations:delete /Library/Preferences/com.wavedna.liquidrhythm.app.plist
delete /Library/Preferences/wavedna.liquidmusic.preferences.plist
delete /Library/Preferences/wavedna.liquidrhythm.preferences.plist
- Remove standalone MaxMSP preference files.
delete /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/LiquidLoops Audio Engine Preferences
delete /Library/Application Support/LiquidLoops Audio Engine Preferences
- You may also wish to remove your WaveDNA License from your computer. Note that if you plan to re-install, you may not wish to perform this step, as you will have to re-activate your license for your current computer, which means that an additional seat on your license will be consumed. Please contact us if you do actually do this, and we can help you migrate your license and ensure you'll have the full two seats you purchased for two workstations.
delete /Library/Preferences/com.wavedna.license.plist
delete /Library/Preferences/wavedna.liquidmusic.license.plist
