Default Duplicate plugins - delete?

Hello,

I seem to have acquired/created multiple copies of the same plugins. Most are in Avid/Plugins as expected, but other go to folders nested within, some more than once! (see attached screenshot). Not 100% sure how this happened, but is it safe to delete the duplicates?

Thank you.

Just create a subfolder inside the Plugin Folder and move duplicate Plugins there. This way you don't have to delete them and can move them back if you encounter some strange things.

This is also an easy way to get Plugins out of the way that you don;'t use anymore and want to streamline your Plugin popup menu.
