Deleting unused Iray render presets.

Is there a way to delete the pile of Iray render presets?  I have a few I've saved that work for me, and wish to eliminate the clutter in the drop-down panel.   A Google search of these forums drew a blank.   Thanks in advance for any help.

    They are just files, so you can delete them normally (the right-click menu shold help you to find the files if you are in a CMS view).

    This seems to result in broken links to the assets, so might be more to it than just the file.

    I also noticed that if I try to copy one to/from another folder, it doesn't show in the list either.

    Both issues persist even after refreshing the list or restarting Studio.

    Those are the database references - if you use the right-click menu to go to the Content Library entry you should be able to right-click on that and remove it.

    This is way late, but if you are still seeing those icons after deleting those presets do the following steps.(Since I don't know how DAZ was back when Richard Haseltine posted his comment, I'm just quoting it since in a way for DAZ 4.10 it's still correct) If there is an easier or faster way to do like just clicking it and its gone completely, someone let me know. I mean it's not a big deal, it's just more of a nuisance. I've done this a few times over these past few months so I've had no issues, but if this is the incorrect way to get rid of them let me know as well.

    1. Go to the Presets in the Render Settings tab.
      • To do that. Click the Render Settings tab and click Presets at the top left in Render Settings Tab.(There should be 3 choices Presets, Editor, and Advanced. We want Presets.)
    2. Click arrow down on Saved Files, then click the arrow down on Preset, then right-click Render-Settings and click Show Category in Content Library.
      • You can also just right-click Saved Files and do the same thing, but you'll still need to click the arrows down to the desired folder.
    3. Right-click those pesky yellow icons and click Remove Reference and that's it.
