How to Uninstall Addictive Drum in GarageBand
Addictive Drums is a MIDI-compatible drum plug-in for Mac OS X and Windows. You can use the plug-in with your favorite recording software, such as Apple's GarageBand, to create live drum sounds. When you install the plug-in on an Apple computer, the file automatically sorts into the appropriate folder, and if you want to uninstall the plug-in at a later time, you must simply locate and remove the file.
