Is it impossible to delete the default HUD profiles? They don't seem to want to go away.

That's correct - the defaults cannot be deleted. Why do you want to do that?

Editing HUD profiles requires you to go through a long list every time and if you want the option to switch and use customized HUDs during play, same issue with long list.

Seems a better option is to allow the option to delete them and then re import them if you change your mind.

This, basically - I just want 2 HUDs in my list: 6max and HU. I don't need all these other ones getting in the way. We should be able to delete them and redownload them from the repository if we want them later.

If you remove the .pt4hud files from C:\Program Files (x86)\PokerTracker 4\Data\Hud the default profiles won't be re-added, though you'll need to do this again when you update PT4 the next time (though you'll only need to do it once per update).

Thanks - if I do this, backup the DB on my PC side, and restore it into a Mac install, will it delete the default HUD profiles there? Or do I have to delete them in both places?

And where do I delete the HUDs on the Mac side?

Assuming you drag the application into the Applications folder the same location on Mac is /Applications/PokerTracker 4.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Hud/

The easiest way to get there is to open a Finder window, press Cmd-Shift-G, paste in the path above, and click Go.
