Unable to delete a User Preset

I dragged the Warp Stabilizer effect with its parameters set to the Effects & Presets window.

Now I want to delete this preset.

Right-clicking doesn't give me the delete option, and clicking the Del button doesn't delete the preset either.

I'm reporting this as a bug.

    Hi ​@rgr2 ,

    This isn’t a bug, just a limitation of the panel. To delete a preset, select it in the Effects & Presets panel, then click the hamburger/flyout menu at the top-right of the Effects & Presets panel. At the bottom of the menu, click Reveal in Finder/Explorer to show the file on disk where you can delete the .ffx. After you return to After Effects, click the hamburger menu again and choose Refresh List at the bottom of the menu and the preset name will disappear.
