Cleaner uninstalls than your DAW.
After removing a plugin, FETCH's Leftover Scraper searches the preset and data folders of 13 hosts and audio applications for orphaned files, the ones standard uninstallers miss every time.
Every file it finds is sorted into one of four risk levels and grouped by host, so you can see at a glance what is the plugin itself and what merely shares its name. You decide what goes. Nothing is removed without your confirmation.

Before you buy
The questions worth answering first.
No. FETCH is a standalone Windows application, not a plugin. It reads your plugin directories directly, so it does its work with every DAW closed.
All of them, in the sense that matters: FETCH works by plugin format, so it manages the plugins used by any software that loads VST2, VST3, AAX or CLAP. For leftover cleanup it goes further and knows the preset and data folders of 13 hosts and audio applications: FL Studio, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo, Fender Studio Pro (formerly Studio One), Bitwig Studio, Reason, REAPER, LUNA, Cakewalk, Audacity and Sound Forge. FETCH is DAW-agnostic. It is not an FL Studio-only tool.
VST2, VST3, AAX and CLAP.
Nothing is removed without your confirmation. Every file the scraper finds is classified first: DIRECT for the plugin's own files, DAW DATA for presets and database entries, FUZZY MATCH for anything matched on filename alone, and DAW CACHE for whole-library index files your DAW simply rebuilds. Removed files go to Quarantine rather than being deleted, so you can put them back, and FETCH keeps a timestamped log of every scan, backup and quarantine.
Windows 10 or later, 64-bit. Nothing else: no runtimes, no .NET, no Visual C++ redistributables. Everything FETCH needs is bundled in the installer.
No. One-time purchase, one seat, free updates and fixes, yours permanently. There is nothing to renew and nothing to expire.
Not yet. FETCH is Windows-only today. macOS support is planned for a future release, but it isn't scheduled, and we won't name a date until it's real.
Expected. FETCH is an independent product without a paid Windows code-signing certificate, so SmartScreen may flag it. The docs walk through every warning scenario.

One-time purchase. No subscription. Yours forever.
Standalone app for Windows 10+, 64-bit. Manages VST2, VST3, AAX and CLAP plugins, with leftover cleanup for 13 hosts and audio applications.
