Default Reaper Wont Open (Mac OS)

Reaper wont open when I click on the application. I think it is because it is trying to open up the last session that I was working on which had Waves Plug-ins used. Im using a Mac computer (Mountain Lion OSX)

How can I open Reaper with a blank session?

or

How can I fix this issue?

Normally, if Reaper don't find a Plugin you used before, it just deactivates it and starts without promblems.

Hold down shift when launching Reaper, that opens Reaper "bare" (not loading latest project). Then you can load the project in recovery mode as described in my blog post (I added some info in a comment). Good luck!

Well that didnt work but what did work was going to USERNAME/LIBRARY/APPLICATION SUPPORT/REAPER

and then RENAMING the Reaper folder and then OPENING the application. This rebooted Reaper and just made another Reaper folder and I deleted the one I renamed.
