Hi Adrian
I have just found the, or at least a, solution as long as you are confident
enough. Look in:
C:\Users\adrian\AppData\Roaming\audacity folder for a file called
pluginregistry.cfg (substitute another username if applicable). Having made
a backup of the file, Open it in Notepad.
Do a search for e:\ and then arrow up once. You should be on a line that
reads something like:
[pluginregistry/Effect/base64\:RWZmZWN0X0xBRFNQQV9TdGV2ZSBIYXJyaXMgPHN0ZXZlQ
HBsdWdpbi5vcmcudWs
Select everything from that line until the line before one with similar
light reading. Delete all of that. Repeat until all references to the e
drive are removed.
I have just removed a duplicate that way. If you are not confident, send me
a copy of the file off list and I will edit.

Hi Andrew,
It shows it as e:\audacity\plugins.
I don't have a folder by that name on e drive.
Only in cprogram files \audacity\plugins.
In the manage plugins list the ones on the e drive say thet are unavailable.
It is weird but probably not worth spending too much time on..
Thanks again for your help.

That's interesting Adrian. I have a portable version within Documents and,
for that reason, get duplicates. I just tried removing an effect from the
portable copy's plugins folder and, when restarting Audacity, the duplicate
disappeared. I wonder if you still have a plugin folder lurking on your E
drive. When you have duplicates and press Enter on the effect, it should
get the path for each copy. If that happens you can track it down and
exterminate.

Hey all,
Have another question.
When I first used Audacity I just ran the portable version to make sure I
liked the program.
Well, that goes without saying now.. It's great.
My problem is that when I install the full version I still had the portable
copy on my e drive.
I found that when I go to add or remove plugins I have duplicates of some
effects that show they are disabled on the e drive..
I cannot figure out how to remove them from the list.
I know it's not a big issue but it does clutter the list up a bit.
I had removed the portable version but they still show in list.
I guess it might be a registry issue but if anyone knows an easy fix, that
would be great.
Thanks
Adrian
