I have hundreds of presets on Lightroom I’m trying to delete. I’ve figured out how to delete individual ones on mobile and my Mac, however I haven’t been able to find a way to delete multiple presets at a time like I should be able to and deleting one at a time is time consuming, not to mention it’s slowing LR down. Any suggestions on what I should do?

I should clarify that this is Lightroom CC, not classic.

And I should update, sorry correct, my advice re CC:

On Mac ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom CC/Develop Presets/
On Windows C:/Users/{you}/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom CC/Develop Presets/

Or at least, it was there - I am just wondering if they changed it again! Hold on....

In LR Classic, right click a preset and choose Show in Finder/Explorer. You can then delete them.

In LR CC, I think you'll have to navigate to the folder manually. On Mac, they're in a Settings folder buried in the Library. In Finder, get to Library by holding down Option which makes the Go menu show Library. It's an equivalent location on Windows.

Thank you for this helpful comment! I was finally able to find the user presets folder, however It was empty. I think I’ve it set up wrong until now and I’m not sure what to do next.
