cleaning out the Pattern library?

[sensei]

I have seen this topic a while back on here I think but I can't find it now so I'm hoping there's some help out there. When I hit the pattern tool and my pattern bar pops up I have so many duplicates and patterns that were not very good I would like to clean it out but can't find where it's located in my computer. Any help out there? I hope.

Thanks

Hi,

Well, I did not lose anything but I had to move them all back into the proper folder and I will have to go through each file to know what to delete. So It did work but I will have to put in some time to get it all figured out. I learned I need to keep my folders cleaner and better labeled lol. So it is a lesson learned.

Thank you again for your help.

Good you didn't lose anything. I clean up my files regularly by saving each file individually and then deleting from the favorite folder in Designer.

Happy carving.

Thank you Oscarl48, I will check it out.

Man, it did not help. I can't find any file that is listed as favorite or owner/carvewright. When I open the pattern library and right click on a duplicate it will say delete but it does not delete it. Seems to me that file must be somewhere. Any more thoughts?

Are you on Windows or Mac?

Where in the how to it says OWNER that will probably be your name or what you set up your computer ID to be.

Well I might have goofed! It cleaned out the library but when I try to open them from the backup disc I get this screen.
Almost all of the things in there were of the web and were free. Now what?

On windows 10, this is how I found the files. In the search window in the lower left corner, I typed Carvewright and Carvewright files came up. This folder is where I found the files that you are looking for.
