Is this how to uninstall an add-in correctly?

In the "Scripts and Add-ins" dialogue I can stop the add-in but not uninstall/delete.

 

If I open the file location and then delete its folder within the InternalAddins folder will that uninstall/delete it or will that just leave Fusion confused why a folder no longer exists?

Or in the case of the CoroPlus addin delete the bundle located in the ApplicationPlugins folder?:

Thank you but that did not answer my question. I'm on Mac not Windows so it's a bit unclear.

To uninstall an add-in on macOs, you simply move its folder to the recycle bin. Even with the add-ins installed by default with Fusion 360.

 

To find the path to the installation folder, go to UTILITIES > ADD-INS > Scripts and Add-Ins..., select the add-in you want to uninstall and expand the Details section at the bottom of the dialog.

 

For the add-ins installed by default the name of the folder is the name of the add-in. For third-party add-ins, the name of the folder is the name of the add-in plus the .bundle extension.

 

Note that the add-ins installed by default are reinstalled when Fusion 360 is updated.
