      Make sure you are inside your home folder <Users/<yourUsername> not the all users Library. The Library folder is hidden by default.

      /Users/<yourUsername>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP/PluginsStorage/PHSPBETA/27/Internal/com.adobe.nfp.gallery/PluginData

      Or in Finder press Cmd+Shift+G and paste ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP/PluginsStorage/PHSPBETA/27/Internal/com.adobe.nfp.gallery/PluginData

      Remove the folder PluginData and restart PS Beta.

      Google’s AI search function is sensationally good now:

      I would actually uninstall the Photoshop 27.11 Beta, then after reinstalling it you should see when bringing up the Neutral Filters you would need to download them again, but in your case just download the ones you want.

       

      You can compare the size of the (~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/UXP/PluginsStorage/PHSP/[version-number]/Internal/com.adobe.nfp.gallery/PluginData ) folder before and after the reinstall to verify the size is smaller.

        Why do you want to remove/uninstall the neural filters?

         

        What version of Photoshop and operating system are you using?

        Jeff, hey - I want to uninstall the filters that weren’t effective IMO or ones that I downloaded, didn’t like, and simply have no use for them taking up space on my computer. They weren’t tiny downloads, and I want to keep my HD clean. Do you have any suggestions on how to remove them? I’m using the Beta V 27.11. Thanks!
