Inventor Cannot Delete Customize User Command Macros

[Anonymous]

Hey guys! Im not sure if this should be posted in the customization forum, mods please move if this is in the wrong spot.

I'm having some weirdness with the "Customize user Commands" window. I have attached a screenshot to help illustrate the issues. 

For some reason, when I delete, rename, or move a macro to a different project ivb folder, the old name will still remain on the left side command list. It's getting harder to distinguish the different ones, since most are empty and dont do anything. The current solution is to simply modify the latest macro's name with an underscore_F to signifiy that it is final. 

How do I clear this list? I tried deleting stuff from the tools tab-macros function but that only deleted from the actual project, but the name of the macro (that no longer exists) is still present in the customize user commands prompt.

TL;DR- how do I clear the left side column macro list in the attached screenshot? I want to re-load my ivb project afterwards and start over. Its cluttering up and most of them are empty.

Hello @Anonymous there are a few things you could try to clear out the Customize data. 

The easiest would be to go to Manage > iLogic > Delete All Rules.

Another less intrusive way would be to try to RMB top panel > Reset Ribbon. 

I don't think that will work, next would be to sign in as a different user profile and see if the macros are still there just for a test to see what might be holding them there, if it is the registry or user profile. 

The most likely fix would be to export all of your settings and then perform Reset Utility.
