Hi!
Is there a way to delete the libraries I created at the bottom of the list?
Thank you!
I see, I tried saving to the desktop and I got the same results as you did.
try saving them in the designated folders, for user defined libraries the standard folder is
C:\Users\canto\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 25 Settings\en_US\x64\Swatches
for application library, save in the folder previously posted. However you won't be able to save directly from Illustrator since it's a system folder. You could save to the desktop and move the file yourself using finder/explorer. By saving

check if you see the Swatch files are in the presets folder, if they're there, just delete them or move them to another folder.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2021\Presets\en_US\Swatches

Hi!
Thank you for your answer.
When I restarted, they disappeared. But I created new ones for test purposes, and I want to remove them without having to do a restart again.
I'm on a MAC.
Thanks again!

They don't seem to be there:

I restarted Illustrator and they were gone. It would be nice not having to restart, though.

did you create the libraries you're trying to delete? they must be saved on a specific folder.
why don't you create a new one, and right before you save, you take a note of the location? and let us know 🙂
those files are live, once you know the location, they should disappear from the menu without needing to restart once you removed them from it's location.

I did create the libraries and saved them on my desktop.
The libraries are still visible from the list even if I delete them from the desktop.

You could save to the desktop and move the file yourself using finder/explorer. By saving to those 2 folders you can add/delete files without having to restart illustrator

Try to save a library and have a good look where it is saved.

On a Mac it is username > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator 25 > your language > Swatches.
