Plugin loading crushes everytime

Ok, is temporarily removing plugins as simple as just moving everything in the LIBRARY/AUDIO/PLUGINs folder and subfolders to another folder then moving it back? I can’t be uninstalling plugins as there are too many to count.

Also, if this doesn’t work, what is the best way to uninstall WL completely and start over since it was working before I touched that “scan plugins @ next startup” button. To reinstall, is there a direct file I can get that will install on OSX 10.12 without having to use the install tool?

Thanks PG
