Is there a way to delete these un wanted default effects. I would skip all the new fancy stuff Adobe puts in their updates just to get some functional things to make a editors life easier.

    I ACTUALLY FIGURED IT OUT. 

    Go to

     

    ...Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Premiere Pro (2024) > LocalizedPresets > en-US > Effect Presets 

     

    Now just delete the "Factory Presets.prfpset" file. Then close and re-open Premiere Pro. And boom, all the stock presets are gone!

    Unfortunately when it's a enterprise computer i can't delete those files. Adobe needs to fix it

    just want to say it's 2021 and you asking this question a bunch of times and finally getting an answer from Neil (not a seemingly built into the program option but still) has made my effects bin way more usable! I also like being able to get rid of (or store in a different folder) all those lumetri presets that take forever to scroll through whenever I type "Lumetri" into the search trying to get the base filter (I like using Lumetri presets too I just don't name them "Lumetri"). 

     

    Thanks to Neil also.

    You seem to be conflating your interests with everyone. Which in an app like this, is easy but very wrong ... I've never seen two editors that worked alike. Or used the same set of effects. So what you think should be there will be a different list than every other editor out there. As would mine or anyone else's list.

     

    The developers make that list based on the overall user base. It's not designed for any one user nor even any one workflow.

     

    I've seen a couple places note that the preset lists are something like an HTML text item, and if you know how to open them and read them, you can go through and delete a ton of stuff. So you can search for that 'out there' if you wish.

    But if you look earlier in the commentyou actualy agreed with me.

     

    Ahhh, yes, I understand your point now.

    Allowing customization of the bins in the Effects panel ... yea, I'd love that also.

    Your comment is proving my point, we all work different and we should be allowed to delete these presets. Now I've searched over and over and fond nothing about HTML text items, as a matter of fact that's what I did before I wrote this because this request came up in my search and reminded me of it. If you do now of some site that shows this I would appreciate it.

     

    Thanks

    Have you found a solution? As an editor myself I find these bins to be extremely annoying as I have my own presets and needing to scroll through Blurs, Convolution Kernel and 50 other folders I don't want is so time-consuming. Not sure why or what the motive is behind forcing editors to have cluttered spaces. I love organization and this is just annoying.

    I posted this back in 2018 I see nothing has changed. We just keep getting more presets that we dont need

    No clue what "default effects" you're talking about ... would love a bit more detail on your idea.

    The presets bin in the effects panel. Being able to delete unused default effects just makes our desktops cleaner. Also in the export settings it would be nice just to have a favorite star so we  don't have to search through all the different formats when exporting because we really most of us just use 2 or 3.
