How to uninstall older version of Cubase without deleting 3rd party VSTs?

@raino

A lot of folks are especially keeping Cubase 11 around since it is the last version that can run VST2 plug-ins.

This is not true though.

Cubase 12 support for vst2 plug-ins

VST 2 plug-ins will only run in Cubase 12 in Rosetta 2 mode on Apple silicon Mac computers. Cubase 12 will not support VST 2 when running natively on Apple silicon Macs.

No restriction on Windows machines.
