I've accidentally saved the same brushes file twice to my User Defined Library - the easiest thing ever - but I can't figure out how to delete one of them!!

My illustrator version is 21.1.0 / I'm using a Mac / thanks in advance for your help!

You will need to go to your Library folder, if you go to the Brush Libraries Menu and choose Save Library you will see the path to your libraries you have saved, in my screen grab mine is called mylibrary.ai.

You can then get to your library folder from the Finder --> Go to Folder... this is all I typed in then I just expanded to the folder I needed.

Sorry that does not work.

 

The higherarchy you are showing isavailable  on my computer under Libraries so I can not find my buried custom brushes.

Just try to Save Brushes from the Brushes panel to see where they are saved.
