How to un-add (subtract?) a VST synth?

In MMM17P, how can I get a synth I've added, that I don't want to use any more, out of the line-up of synths? There is no "subtract" button, and the Win right-click for a dropdown of options doesn't have any effect. I don't know where MMM17 is keeping the synths I've added, which folder, to eliminate it from there, either.

This is the third time I have posted this question. Twice before it has shown up for a few hours then disappears.  And this question bot seems to think this has been asked before, but can provide no example(s)...

I don't know why anyone would be deleting a question like this, but then I don't work for MAGIX.

Search your C: drive (or main boot drive) for a folder called 'Synth'.  There you will find all of the files and folders for all of the VST synths. Simply delete (or move) the folder/file for the synth you want to remove and restart MMM. The location will vary depending on the version of MMM you're running as well as the version of the operating system.

Thanks, Procyon. It wasn't where you suggested, but your reply caused me to think that maybe MMM doesn't create another iteration of the synth, that it uses the synth from where ever you placed its .dll . And that seems to be the case. Since I opened the synth's zip in the folder where I dl'ed it into, all I had to do was remove the dll from there and it no longer appears in MMM. A benefit of this is that if I ever decide to use that synth again, all I have to do is unpack it and point MMM to it again, but I've saved space in my VST bar, in the meantime! Thanks again-Rob
