I really would like to be able to delete the develop presets that ships with LR3. I don't use them as they are in the way of my own presets when using the Library Module.
The ability to delete the default develop presets has been modified to allow you to hide them instead as of Version 7.4, We are closing this as implemented. We hope it helps keep your workspace tighter!

I don't mind having the presets be preloaded, but why can't I change them so they are in one pull down menu instead of 14. We should be able to choose what presets show up in the Develop Presets Module, because it is very distracting to have so many pulldowns. It's not crazy to ask to have a check box or something to toggle them on and off when we want them to show up there or not. I should be able to hide the ones I'm not interested in and bring them back if I change my mind. This is a full blown program for advanced users, not Lightroom Light or something along those lines. Most people know what they are doing and want to customize their experience to best fit their workflow. Why is Lightroom making things more complicated than they need to be for their users. This is just bad UI and really needs to be addressed. Please take this serious Adobe. Pretty please with sugar on top.
Emma Dorey I believe a 'work-around' can do close to your suggestion- While the Adobe Default Groups are visible in the Preset Panel- Add only the ones you want to use to the "Favorites" Group- Then Manage the Presets and 'Hide' the Adobe defaults. I found that you can keep selected default presets in the 'Favorites' Group and hide the rest.
"How can i delete the preset lightroom export presets (ie 'for email, 'burn full size') i only want the user presets."
You cannot 'Delete' but you can Minimize by clicking the 'spinner' triangles-
"Also if i tick my user presetm i cant adjust it, its all greyed out."
DO NOT TICK ANY PRESET unless you want to 'Batch' multiple Export Presets in the one operation.
Simply [mouse left-click] on the Preset NAME for the ONE preset that you want to use or edit.
Unfortunately, Watermark 'position' is fixed in a Watermark Preset so you need to either create an Export Preset for each Watermark preset, or change the Watermark Preset in the one Export Preset.
