2 minute read • Last updated 2024-10-07

Please note that if you are simply wishing to deactivate the plugins, this is an automatic process when logging in or out of the Astute Manager.

If you want to fully uninstall the plugins:

In the Astute Manager, click on the Menu and then select "Uninstall all plugins".


After doing this, if you want to entirely uninstall all plugins and the Astute Manager from your system, please do the following:

  1. Quit Illustrator

  2. Log out of and then uninstall the Astute manager

Manually delete Astute Graphics plugins from inside the Illustrator plugins folder.

  • On a mac, you can delete the plug-ins by going to the Applications Folder > Ai > Plug-ins >

  • On Windows, use the standard Add/Remove program system as described by Microsoft here.


If you then wish to uninstall the Astute Manager, please see Uninstalling the Astute Manager from your system.
