How to remove a plug-in from the Filter menu? [was: Filters]

Question

Hi everyone, I would like to remove from the filters menu a Plug-in that I no longer use, it cannot be removed despite having uninstalled, maybe I made some mistake ... (it was uninstalled, but only the writing remains) From the Filter menu ( to remove) is Auto FX Software GRFX Studio Pto AI ... how can I remove from the list? If you happen to select it, the Program crashes .... Graze! A greeting.

Take a look at: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC

It's probably left the .8bf file when you uninstalled.

What operating system are you using?

If Windows, then use File Explorer to open (assuming you are using the latest version of Photoshop):

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2022\Plug-ins

Either search, or manually look through the folders to find the relevant .8bf file and rename the extension by adding .bak so it will now be named *****.8bf.bak — To be clear I used those asterisks as wildcard characters. Restart Photoshop and see in the plugin has gone from the Filters menu. If it has, you can delete the file you renamed, or maybe just leave it as a paranoid 'just-in-case'.

Good .luck.
