Faster way to delete presets?

Hello, I made a whole bunch of Pan/Crop presets for a specific project, and then realized it was a mistake. There is over 100 of them. Is there a faster way to delete all these presets besides manually? I know it probably would not take me long but there is multiple instances of this.

You should find pan/crop presets in the Regisrty at:

For VP20:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VEGAS Creative Software\VEGAS Pro\20.0\Metrics\Application

Or for VP19 and earlier:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Sony Creative Software\VEGAS Pro\19.0#\Metrics\Application

# = VP version - 19.0 or 18.0 or 17.0 etc

The pan/crop custom presets can all be highlighted and deleted in one action ... BUT ... as always with editing the registry, be very careful as there is no going back - there's no Undo/CTRL+Z in the registry. It's always a good idea to first export the registy folder to be edited (Application in this case) so that it can be restored to the registry if things go awry when editing that folder.
