I removed within the Plugins-->Marketplace Folder the Substance Folder

However, when I try to re-install the Epic Launcher is telling me, that the plugin is still installed.

How to succesfully un-install the Substance 3D Plugin and then re-install?

Thanks for any ideas, appreciate it!

Hi @bromampfer , it looks like Epic expects for the plugin to be removed a very specific way, otherwise it will still appear as installed.

Can you open the Installed Plugins popup under the egine version? You should still see the Substance plugin appear here, and you can click "remove" to try again. The launcher should let you isntall the plugin now.

Let me know if that helps

Hi @bromampfer , sure thing I am attaching a screenshot. You'll get this popup window when you click the orange"install plugins" text shown here.

Best,
Aldo
