Hello,

I want to save some brushes I've made in a custom library, So I want to delete all the default brushes in order not to be saved with my brushes.

when I select the brushes, Illustrator tells me that some brushes are in use and cannot be deleted until the styles are deleted, Although I'm not using any brushes.

here is a video for a better understanding:

    Yeah, that worked thanks!

    but may you please explain to me what is the relationship between graphic styles and brushes?

    In graphic styles you save grahic styles. Those might contain brushes.

    Please read the documentation: Work with graphic styles in Illustrator
