How to delete export preset folders that were created by 3rd party apps

I'm trying to clean up my LR workspaces and especially make exporting easier. I cannot find a way to delete the folders created by 3P apps like Luminar from the export menu. The 'remove" button is grayed out on all of the top box folders.

Is there a way to make this happen so I just have a couple of choices to see when I right click on images?

the screen shot shows what I have now...

thanks,

Correct answer GoldingD

Ok, now I do not really think you want to remove all the exports. Looking at that screenshot, I see you have extra instances of various plug-ins. Oh and they are not presets. I am referring to the third party plug-ins like Aurora,and  Luminar..

To deal with that bring up the Plug-In manager. In the plug-in manager you can remove them from lightrooms knowledge. (as for totally removing, that depends upon the program in question, but typically no)

Thanks, David

I really do want to eliminate all but the user presets I create for exports, but using Plug-in manager, I was able to remove the clutter by 50%. I'd like to remove the Lightroom default presets as well, but I can live with what I now have.

thanks for such quick accurate help !!!

For the actual presets, to remove clutter, and as I see you do mean the presets. It is in fact a great idea to clear up that clutter

In LR, in the Presets panel click the + sign, and select Manage Presets, Uncheck any you do not want to see. (this might be version specific)
