Lightroom: Delete custom crop preset

If you create a custom crop preset in Adobe Lightroom and then need to delete it, there’s no easy way. This is because the preset is stored in the Catalog. Fortunately, there is a way to delete it using SQLiteSpy.

Using SQLiteSpy, open the Lightroom catalog and either run the Edit Cell option, or the following SQL statements (substitute the correct dimensions as needed):

SELECT * FROM Adobe_variablesTable WHERE name = "Adobe_customCropAspects"

DELETE FROM Adobe_variablesTable WHERE name = "Adobe_customCropAspects" AND value = "customCropAspects = {
{
h = 2.166,
w = 3,
},
}
"
