I have already searched online, but those solutions don’t work anymore. I’ve tried everything, and I can’t find an uninstall or remove button, as shown in the tutorials.

Does anyone know how to remove plugins?

Hey All, sorry for the trouble and confusion!

After removing a plugin from your Saves, the list of recent plugins is still stored in Local Storage, which is why you’ll still see it. Clearing this storage will clear out the list of recent plugins and other Figma settings.

Here’s how to clear the desktop app cache on a Mac:

  1. Quit the Figma desktop app
  2. Open Terminal.app and enter the following command: rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Figma"
  3. Try opening the desktop app again

And here’s how to clear the desktop app cache on Windows:

  1. Close the Figma desktop app
  2. Open the Start menu, and paste in this, followed by enter: %APPDATA%\Figma
  3. In the window that opens, delete the Desktop and DesktopProfile folders if they exist
  4. Launch the desktop app again

As for plugin subscriptions, if you subscribed to a plugin using a third-party payment site, you’ll need to contact the creator directly to manage your subscription.

If you purchased a plugin subscription using Figma’s payment platform, you can manage your subscriptions from your Stripe customer portal. From your Stripe customer portal, you can:

  • Cancel or renew your subscriptions
  • Update your payment method
  • Change your billing information
  • Review your purchase history

To access your Stripe customer portal:

  1. Open Figma in the file browser.
  2. Select your avatar in the top-right corner to open the account menu.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Select the Community tab.
  5. Under Community purchases, locate the subscription you want to manage.
  6. From the dropdown, select Manage subscription. You are redirected to your Stripe customer portal. You can use the settings to manage your subscriptions.

Note: Plugin subscriptions are not refunded when canceled. You can cancel a plugin subscription to prevent it from being automatically renewed, so you will still be able to access the plugin until the end of your current billing cycle.

Hey @oddfather, sorry for the confusion!

The Resources icon is the one with the 4 shapes in the top toolbar in between the Text tool and the Hand tool:

Sometimes saved plugins in the top menu do not load all saved plugins at once. I think that’s the problem. We see only 4 saved plugins, and when we are scrolling, we immediately see plugins from the community.

Hey @Alexey_Yarkin, thanks for following up!

That definitely sounds odd. Plugins are sorted by Recents and saved by default. A few of your most recently used plugins will appear at the top followed by your Saved plugins.

Before the From Community plugins are listed, if all of your saved plugins aren’t listed, you should see a link to Show all saved plugins:

If this isn’t the case for you, are you able to share a screenshot or screen recording of what you see on your end?

I have been chasing this answer down for MONTHS and your screenshot provided the critical piece of knowledge missing from all the explanations on how to remove a plugin. In no UX logic would I have ever tied the “bookmark” icon w/ being able to remove a plugin.
