1. Click on the yellow warning sign. Now there should be an empty square

2. Open the section "Edit list of available Add-Ons"

3. Click on the now available button "Remove"

4. Close Dialog with OK

Other cool trick then waht bschwb said, is the () method. you can put any folder in the pluginfolder in () and archicad will ignore that folder and all plugins that might be in this folder.

The Plugin "Webbrowser" will be ignored

this is very usefull when you have older versions of your plugin with the same id and want to preserve them, and load them when needed.

@Newbie ,

You have posted this in the Developer forum and tagged it as "Add-on C++".

Was that a mistake (if so I will move the post - please choose a correct forum) or are you actually looking for a solution via add-ons?

Barry.

Hello Barry.

Actually I am looking for the ability to list all the addons via API function with option to select which one to remove then process as need.

Anyway, this is just temporary solved for me to understand its flow.

You and move it to where ever suitable and sorry for any confusion.
