How to delete User Presets in effects & presets for good?

Question

Hi, I'm having trouble removing the presets I made. Both were only a test to see if I was to save it. I am still learning but I need to delete them due to mistakes made.

They appear to be located in "user presets" in the "effects and presets". But there is no way for me to delete them there. Please let me know if there is any way to delete them for good, I tried to locate them on my computer and even tried to "manage effects"/"Browse.." in Ae/in Bridge but are nowhere to be found except for in the "effects in presets" shown below in picture. Which I don't want. Hope you can help or provide some info if I'm missing something, Thanks in advance!

On Windows PCs, these presets are stored in your My Documents folder, probably:

Documents\Adobe\After Effects 2024\User Presets

With AE not running, just delete the presets you don't want and when you next open AE, they should be gone. If they're not, then they are probably also stored in one of the AE folders in that Documents/Adobe folder as well. Just delete them from there too.
