Extensions Manager (latest version d/l from CC app) isn't displaying my version of PS. I have a bunch of old extensions that I want to remove but can't locate them on my HD (OSX) - how can I delete these extensions please? Thanks.

      Ok, found it, in case anyone else is ever looking for this, the extensions are in the Library of your boot disk, not your home library which is where I was looking. HD>Application Support>Adobe>CEP>Extensions.

        Thanks both, I tried the free tool linked above and I also looked in the extensions folder, but I still have three extension panels that I just can't get rid of:

        Coolorus

        Social Kit Pro

        Chameleon Adaptive pallette

        There must be an easy way to remove these?

          Are you sure they are installed in Photoshop CC. If the are and not managers by Adobe desktop application.  You can most likely just delete their folders. How did the get installed int CC?

          Old extension may not even work if you manage to install them into a current version Photoshop.  Adobe makes changes to extension support  from one release of Photoshop to the next. Often extension need to be reprogrammed for newer version of Photoshop.  Some never are.  For example Adobe Mini bridge will work in CS6 it will not work in CC. Adobe removed Flash Panel support in CC. Adobe  did not make changes to mini bridge to use html  panels.

          The first thing you should do is check with the extension developer to see if they have the answer do they have a new  version and have their own install/uninstaller.  Not all are managed by Adobe Creative cloud application.  Adobe also moved it extension manager function  into the Creative cloud desktop application and not all extension developer have their extensions install by the creative cloud desktop application they supply an installer,

          Thank you for your help, appreciated.

          Is there a local folder on the Mac I can go to and delete them manually, please? I just want to empty the entire Extensions menu, ideally. Thanks again.
