Lens Correction - Lens Profile options - Can I remove some?

I highly doubt that I can do this, but it never hurts to ask...

I own about a dozen lenses.  Most are Canon, and the lens profile is automatically applied.  No problem.  I do own some lenses such as the Venus Optics Laowa series.  It's easy to find them and apply... but I always have to open the drop down list and scroll past a million (ok, half a million) makes before getting to the bottom of the list for Venus Optics.  Again, easy enough.... unless you are going through a few hundred photos from a session and the non-Canon lenses are scattered here and there throughout the few hundred shots... so a simple "sync settings" isn't as easy as it sounds since it might be two pictures here, skip a few, six pictures there, skip a few... you get the idea.  So for each photo it's the drop down list, and a lot of scrolling.

So my question is, is there a way to remove some of these lens selections for lenses I will never own?  That would be at least 90% of the list, if not more.

You could delete the lens profiles from the Camera Raw installation, but I don't recommend it, and you'd have to redo the deletion every new release.

 

Better, just create Develop presets that apply each of the lens profiles for your non-Canon lenses. Put these in their own separate preset group "My Lens Profiles".  Then you can quickly apply a desired profile with at most two clicks.

Yeah, I didn't think it was like the preset library where you could pick and choose, but I was hoping it was.  I don't want to delete the whole file due to the amount of Canon lenses I own, rent, and borrow from time to time.  
Thanks, John!
