Remove Add-in from Add-In manager

Hi,

I recently tried to create an Inventor Add-in for the first time. The add-in failed to load for some reason and eventually i decided to just start over. This add-in however, is still in the list in Add-in manager. This really annoys me. There are no files left in my computer from this add-in. I suppose i need to unregister it from inventor somehow?

 

I've checket both C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Inventor 2018\Addins and C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Inventor 2018\Addins and there are no files associated to this add-in there.

Does anybody here have an idéa of how i can get rid off it?

Never mind. I found it!

I used the project template in visual studio to create an inventor add-in. Apparently when i build it creates a folder with the add-in name at C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins

Deleting this folder does the trick 🙂

@JhoelForshav,

 

Can you please check at this location "C:\Users\"User Name"\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins" ? Delete both files and folder.

 

Thanks and regards,
