how can I remove unwanted actions

[vincent solomito]

I have as set of actions, named something like "IPT NEXGENACTIONS 1.1.1."

I HAVE MANAGED TO DELETE EVERY INCIDENCE OF THESE THAT I CAN FIND ON MY IMAC. STILL THE ACTIONS ARE LISTED AS AVAILABLE WHEN I CLICK ON THE DROP DOWN LIST IN TOP CORNER OF ACTIONS PANEL. (Oh, please excuse all capitals, an error).

I am using iMac OS 10.12.4 on late 2015 iMac.

ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

To remove them from the Actions list, select the action or folder of actions in question and click the Trash can icon at the bottom of the panel.

Prepression: Photoshop – Custom Action File Backup & Migration

Specifically:

Where should one save these .atn files?

Mac:

/Applications/Adobe Photoshop ???/Presets/Actions

Win:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop ???\Presets\Actions

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop ???\Presets\Actions

If an .atn file is saved to the default application/program presets folder as above, the action will be listed and available in the action palette menu. This allows an action to be easily restored if it is removed without having to manually find and load the original .atn file. If there are many actions, this menu may become unwieldy due the length of the added action sets.

Note: by storing saved action .atn files in this “expected” default application/program location they will not be available to the built in preset migration export tool (edit menu, presets, export/import presets).

For the built-in export/import presets feature to list saved actions for migration, they should be saved to a non-default location – the user level preset folder for actions:

Mac:

Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop ???/Presets/Actions

Win:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop ???\Presets\Actions

P.S. You can select the CAPS text, right/contextual click, Transformations > Capitalize or Make Lower Case

This does not work because the import/export panel freezes and requires a hard restart.

Thank you very much,

thanks, Stephen_A_Marsh

I found copies of the actions by searching for " .atn" and found the remaining copies, which I deleted. I should have done this first but your post may me realize my error and the problem is now solved.

Thanks for stimulating my worn out brain.
