I would like to delete most of the pre-loaded libraries, but am not able to find the program files on my Windows 10 computer. I "think" that's where I went to delete libraries from my PCStitch 10. Any help would be appreciated. :)

What "libraries" are you talking about? The samples designs that are provided? They only take a little over a MB total.

If you're talking about the motif libraries that are now part of the product, that's about 65 MB and it's a huge bargain to have available. Individually, that constitutes 12 products that retail about $10 each!

PCStitch 10 and PCStitch 11 installed the same basic way. The difference is the "10" vs. "11". That means you can have both installed side-by side (as I do to be able to help people easier). The default install area is Program Files (x86) and the data is in ProgramData. Both under the appropriate version of PCStitch.

Yes, I'm talking about the motif libraries. I understand what they are and that they're a bargain. However, since they are all of a style I don't particularly care for they are of no use to me, bargain or not.

It appears my question is more of a Windows 10 question, thanks for your help.

Windows 10 - I can't help with. I actively avoided the free update from Windows 7 (desktop) and Windows 8.1 (laptop). I'm glad I did. I hear they just flat pulled the latest update because it was deleting files!

Apparently I'm not the only who couldn't find program files, there are lots of YouTubes to show the way. Problem solved.

Thanks again.

Did you figure out where the PC Stitch 11 libraries are located? I can't find any Youtube videos and they're not in the Program Files location as it was with PC Stitch 10

They're where I said they were in my first response (almost 2 years ago). They're in Programdata/PCStitch 11/Libraries. ProgramData is normally a hidden folder so you have to "unhide" it to see it. I automatically unhide that folder when I first get a computer or OS because it's faster to unhide it and it's subfolders before there are too many of them. As you add folders, they automatically stay visible.
