Unable to remove old camera profiles in Lightroom Classic

I noticed that in the "Lens Correction" section of the Develop module in Lightroom Classic(Release 12.1 Camera RAW 15.1) It looks like my old Nikon D40 & D600 are in the list of cameras, but were never added to the default camera list. 

Looking at the preferences menu I see the following:

In the Preferences>Presets screen under RAW Defaults my settings are:

Global: Camera settings 

Override Global settings box is checked.

Under that in the dropdown list of cameras, there are older models I want to remove.

"D40" is checked, but is NOT in the default camera list to the right. How do I remove the older models D40 & D600, which are not in the list of default cameras?`

OK. I can accept that. I guess I would  have thought that all camera/lens metadata would be carried over when going from Lightroom to Photoshop and back.  It does cause some image 'warping' at the edges (for lack of a better term).

When you go from Lightroom to Photoshop with a raw file as starting point, then you will always get a tiff or psd copy. Photoshop cannot edit a raw file directly and cannot save a file as raw. That means that the lens profile will already  be applied to the tiff/psd, but it is 'baked into the pixels' so you can't access it anymore in the Lens Corrections panel of Lightroom on return in Lightroom.

Seems you are confusing a few things. The title of this message talks about camera profiles, in the message you talk about lens profiles, but then the question about removing something is about camera defaults. Here's how that works and how you remove custom defaults:

I attached a screen print with the obsolete cameras marked in black. Sorry for the poorly drawn circles, but you should see what I mean.

First photo is a year old, so older release of Lightroom when it was imported. Note the long list of lenses, and the one checked is the one used for the image.

Next is a recent image showing incorrect lens info and a very truncated list.

The only thing I know for sure is different is the version of LRc.


The screenshot is too small to say with certainty, but it looks like that the file extension of the image that only gives a few lens profiles is TIFF, not a raw extension. That would explain it and is almost always the explanation when people report a problem like this. Most lens profiles are for raw images only.
