I'm trying to better organize my library and what's driving me crazy is that there are certain folders that were automatically created by the program (3D, eBooks, Project Designs, Sketch, etc) that I DON'T want/use, but when I right click on these folders, the option to delete them is not available and they can't even be moved into another folder. Is there a way to get rid of these? They're really cluttering up my main folder system!
UPDATE
I heard back from Silhouette tech support and they confirmed that there is no way to remove the folders currently, but said they'd pass along my feedback as suggestion for future software updates.

I haven’t found a way, either, unfortunately. I just ignore them. There aren’t that many, and I have far outnumbered them with the folders that I have chosen to add to my library. I have literally thousands of cutting files in my Silhouette library, and they are all well organized according to my own preferences.
However, if it really bothers you, contact Silhouette through Chat and let us know if they give you a solution. At the least, they might do something about it in a future software update.

Wait, what? You can create folders in the Silhouette library?? Why did I not know this? I get so frustrated when I purchase a new design it's always so hard for me to find it! Now I'm off to organize by library.

Now I'm off to organize by library. Haha! Well, now I'm glad I posted this, if it helps you organize your library! To be fair, I think it's not super obvious how to create folders, you need to right click the parent folder (in my case, Designs) and select "New Folder." You can even add subfolders to main folders! (So I have my "holidays" folder separated into Christmas, Halloween, etc.) scrapnnana, thanks for your suggestion, I sent Silhouette an email about it and will update if I hear back. |

Hmmm, when I right-click on them, I do see an option to delete them in the menu.

When I reopened the software, they showed up again. If Silhouette has made it possible to delete them permanently, I will be delighted. |

OK, never mind. I wasn't looking at the right folder. I can't delete some of the folders either. I never use the Patterns folder, but I can't delete that one. I guess I've just ignored them. It would be nice if we could delete them, though.
