How to delete uninstalled Plugins from the Open OFX Plugins

PostSat Apr 12, 2025 12:08 pm

Good morning
I am asking how to delete uninstalled plugins from the list, I also tried deleting the files in the path “C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins”
The list keeps appearing, can you give me some advice?
Thank you

1) Close Davinci.
2) I would search (F3) for the filename on the entire C drive and delete the .bundle files

Did search, but found no reference to uninstalled plugins.

I'm not windows user but the file you are looking for is called OFXPluginCacheV2.xml

On mac is on path: /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/

On windows it should be on path: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\Davinci Resolve\Support

- Close resolve.
- Make a copy of the file just the have backup if something goes wrong.
- Open the file with text edit or notepad++ or whatever program, delete all bundles from the list you have uninstalled (delete all in the range starting from <bundle> .... ending with </bundle>) save the file and you should be good.

You can also delete that file completely, resolve will recreate it once relaunched with all current bundle used (Fastest way).

Great!!!
It worked, I cleaned up all the entries for the uninstalled plugins included between the <bundle> and </bundle> commands

Thank you very much.

Hi there, I'm running v20 beta and I cannot find the OFXPluginCacheV2.xml file and the standard instructions to open the bundle and run maintenancetool app doesn't work. the maintenancetool app crashes.

i'm on a mac.

the plugin still shows up in the list of installed (but disabled) plugins.

Any workaround to get rid of them?

thanks
