I'm trying to completely remove and reinstall QGIS on my system (Mac os 10.11.6). I follow the steps in the Kyngchaos and delete the existing application. But on reinstalling framework, components and program I still see old plugins from prior installation. I can't delete these which i what i want to do. As screenshot, they are there but i can't uninstall or reinstall as both boxes are greyed out. I've installed the latest Kyngchaos framwork and build 2.18.15. Please can someone advise where these are stored on my system so i can delte them.

EDIT by looking in the package contents and going to folder Plugins/qgis I can remove all but these which aren't in that folder. If i delete everything in the folder it causes QGIS to break and I have to reinstall;

AsAndreas Muller's answer, on mac plugins should be installed here /Users/username/.qgis2/python/plugins;

to find out more go to > http://www.qgistutorials.com/en/docs/using_plugins.html

and

Some plugins are installed by default so may not be from the old install, but from this new one.

  • DB Manager
  • Processing
  • GDAL Tools

Are all examples of these. They are core components of QGIS so should not be deleted.
