Advanced Output mappings Presets won't stay deleted.

Hey all, bit of a weird one here.

I maintain a Resolume-based video system for a nightclub I work at, but I am not the primary user most nights. Since the install at the start of the year, I've been in every few weeks to run special events with more involved projection mappings or tweak their outputs as they've added and upgraded their outputs.

Every time I'm in, I save my changes in the Advanced Output Presets for mapping as a new preset, with the date and a brief description of the change. We've now reached the point of having around 20 of those presets so I started deleting the old ones by selecting/loading them, then selecting Remove. However, each time Resolume is closed and reopened, they're back. Even more annoyingly, Resolume will pick an old mapping to load with the composition, no matter which I have selected when I save and quit Resolume.

I went to %ResolumeArena% - Presets - Advanced Output and deleted the old presets, and they still come back in the menu, and the deleted preset still gets picked by Resolume each time the program closes and reopens.

I would put up with this weirdness on my own rig, but I've already gotten a few panicked calls already that go like:
"Resolume's broken and everything's wrong!"
"Is the latest mapping preset loaded?"
"...everything's working now, thanks bye!"
:roll:

Any suggestions? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance!

Close Resolume before deleting the files.

The files were already deleted, so I opened each mapping and re-saved them to make files to delete. I then saved Resolume and exited, deleted the files and re-opened Resolume. They're gone! I saved and exited again to be sure, and even better, they're still gone! I figured because Resolume had the option to Remove them while the program was open, I wouldn't need to close it to trash the files, just like I wouldm't for any clip/media, but this did the trick.

Thanks for the help, Zoltán!
