To manage your libraries in Kontakt 3.0, you can follow these primary methods based on whether you are using the official Native Instruments tools or managing custom, third-party libraries. 1. Official Method: Using Native Access
Stability and the "Working I Hope" Factor

Issue 3: macOS Privacy Persistence
Even with Full Disk Access, macOS Sequoia adds a second layer of protection called "System Integrity Protection (SIP) for Documents."
Fix: Move your libraries out of ~/Documents and onto a secondary drive like ~/Music/Kontakt_Libraries/. Then map KLM 3.0 to that drive.
Removing a Library
- Select the library from the list → “Remove from Database”.
This does not delete samples – just removes the entry from Kontakt’s sidebar.
