How do you delete an unwanted preset in Lightroom 3 that you have in your saved presets?

FYI, this article from Adobe documents the file location of these presets:

Installed and custom presets and templates have filenames ending in .lrtemplate and are located in folders under the Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder.

Another link (for LR4, but I presume this also holds true for LR3) confirms that "factory" or built-in presets cannot be deleted.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Thanks. I have tried right clicking to delete @MikeW and no it's not the presets that come with LR, it's the others of added to it. Just want to narrow them down. Way too many ones I got for free that I don't use or don't like. \$\endgroup\$

I think you can find all your presets in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets" and then delete which are not required. You will find two directories here as "Lightroom Presets" and "User Presets".

If I have them in lightroom still you would think I did b/c when I got my computer back I plugged it in. Before taking it in though I delete my lots of my stuff on my hard drive....I can't seem to find the presets I have in lightroom. \$\endgroup\$
