@wildcatherder if you click on the View All button in the Welcome Screen's Auto Creations panel, it will take you to a new dialog where you can use the trash can button to delete individual creations if that is what you want.  However, depending on how many auto creations have been generated, when you delete one, it will be replaced by another.  So, if you want to delete all currently generated auto creations, you would have to use Glenn's method (if you have Elements 2024).  And if you don't want to have any new ACs, you would have to turn off the option as described in the responses to the OP.

How to delete existing creations is what the subject states and I need that answer.

Go here and delete any folders you find:

C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\24.0\CAHeadless\Creations

The subject header the OP made wasn't what he wanted- he wanted to turn off auto creations.  You want to actually delete them- something quikte different.
