Addons are stored in your Gramps user folders. With Gramps not running…

Go to your Gramps [user directory](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_User_Directory) found here.

There will be the version folder then the plugin folder. `gramps51\plugins`. Delete the folder of the unwanted addon.

An alternative is from the menu launch the Plugin Manager. (menu \>\> Help \>\> Plugin Manager)

There are actually two versions of the tool. The [Original Paugin Manager](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Plugin_Manager) and an [Enhanced](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:Plugin_Manager) version.

The Enhanced version allows you to Uninstall a plugin. Both versions will allow you to Hide them. Hiding an addon will prevent Gramps from loading and using the addon.
