Smart Content Categories cant be deleted or renamed

jerickson_jel

I have saved a support asset follower in DAZ and it placed itself in a category named clothingAccessories in my Smart Content.  This category cannot be renamed or deleted.  I have searched my entire computer for it and I cannot find it anywhere.  I just want to move the actual follower into a different folder and then delete the clothingAccessories category in smart content.  Just to clarify the folder is not in Content Library. It is not on my computer it is only in Smart Content.  Is there some kind of XML file I need to edit or something?   Thanks.

Smart Content uses database categories, they do not correspond to locations on disc. You can add and remove categories, using the right-click menus in the Categories hierarchy in the Content Library pane.

Wow.  That was sooooooo easy to fix.  Thanks so much for the clear explanation. I was able to rename the folder no problem.  Then I went back to smart content and refreshed.  The new folder name is now used.   Thank you again. *****

Hello, I'll append my question to this thread about Smart Content library:

I have few items I can't seem to be able to move around in the library, I select the item (a prop in this case) that shows up under Environments/Architecture, I don't want it there, I right click > Categorize, then I press "remove all categories" button in the Categories window, select the path I want it in (Props/...) press Accept and it just seems to have no effect, I can add a category to this item, but I can't seem to be able to remove the "default" one, like I the user I'm logged in wouldn't have the rights to change the "default" category setting.

The method I use works for most things in the Categories DB I tried to reorganize, but few items refuse to obey, am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to see/change the default settings under a product or something like that?
