Hello,
I am new in the community and I have for a few Days difficulties to work with InDesign.
I have installed a plug-in in InDesign over anastasiy's extension manager. At the first time it's work perfect.
Then i uninstalled the plugin over the Extension, but the Plugin was not correctly uninstall from the application because this still appear in the application when i open it.
I decide to remove InDesign from my Laptop and install it again. But that do not solve my problem becaus the plugin is still inside InDesign.
How can I get my InDesign to the Initial Version.
By the way, I am using the creative cloud to install the Application.

Mab y somebody could help me.

Resetting preferences will not remove plug ins, so this advice has no use. Look in the InDesign folder on your  computer and in that folder find the folder Named Plug ins. In that folder just delete the plug in you don't want any longer.

Firstly try by deleting preferences and see if it helps. Steps to do it are mentioned at the following webpage

Hi Frans, the advice does have a quite a bit of utility. If the menu has been added via scripts lots of times it gets stuck and resetting preferences does remove the menu entry. I have faced this personally and also participated in a couple of discussions about the same on forum. The next thing if you notice is that the OP talked about extensions, extensions are not placed in the Plugins folder it has different load locations. With the removal of Extension Mananger by Adobe, softwares like the one used by OP and Zxpinstaller are used. So yes the bundle could have had a plugin but what i mentioned did make sense, i beg to differ on that. My response was not just conjecture
