<p>I just installed Motion 5 but I've already run into a weird frustration. In the Library inspector I found a list of gradients. I clicked the <code>+</code> button at the bottom of the panel and discovered it creates folders. Ok.

<p>I have tried:</p>

<ul>
<li>right-clicking (no menu)</li>
<li>selecting with mouse then <code>delete</code> or <code>backspace</code> keys</li>
<li>looked through all the menus</li>
<li>right-clicked on an actual gradient from the 'All' folder and revealed in finder... the folders do not show up in finder though</li>

# How to delete folders from Library > Gradients in Motion 5

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-04-01)

I just installed Motion 5 but I've already run into a weird frustration. In the Library inspector I found a list of gradients. I clicked the `+` button at the bottom of the panel and discovered it creates folders. Ok. But now I have ended up with two folders I don't want and *I can't find any way to delete them*.

![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/eYxq7.png)

I have tried:

* right-clicking (no menu)
* selecting with mouse then `delete` or `backspace` keys
* looked through all the menus
* right-clicked on an actual gradient from the 'All' folder and revealed in finder... the folders do not show up in finder though
