How do I remove a downloaded neural filter from my local disk?

So I downloaded the Photo Restoration neural filter to test it. The download was nearly 900 MB. After playing with it for a little bit, I don't think I need that tool. How do I remove it from my local disk? That's a large amount of data to have on your disk if you're not going to use it. But I don't see an option to remove the filter.

 

I'm on a Mac, Ventura 13.3.1.

 

Thank you in advance for any help!

    It's so infruriating! My PS is installed on another drive because my C drive is a small SSD, and yet because Creative Cloud MUST be installed on the same drive as the OS any free space is always being sucked up by stray Adobe files. Reality and Adobe only ever seem to bump into other when buying Rizzla papers! Neural filters on my system are currently 16GB!!!

      I have the same issue but things must have changed since April.  I am running PS 2024 25.0.1 and Ventura 13.6 and there isn't a PluginsStorage subdivision in the UXP folder.   I would like to delete the neural filter I downloaded as I will not be using it.

      Thanks.

        @MarkNF I have the same - it is stored in the User Library not the system.

        In Finder Menu GO hold the Opt key to show the hidden user Library. Then navigate to the UXP folder.

          Awesome! Thank you so much for the info. I just deleted all contents of the PluginData folder. On relaunch, the Presets folder (within PluginData) was regenerated and all downloaded filters were gone. Problem solved.

           

          But, honestly, I don't understand why that is not an option in the app. I mean, if you can download plug-ins and filters, you should also be able to easily uninstall them. Or is that naive of me?

            Normally I wouldn't fret about 900 MB - if you are that concerned I would be reviewing my HD usage to make sure I always have at at least 500 GB free.
