Deleted custom panels are back on restart

There are some Custom panels I can't delete.

Sketch Panel
Sketch Panel Red
Sketch Panel RGB

When I delete them they seem to be gone, but they're back after a restart.

yes, the inbuilt Custom Panels located in the default config are protected for definitive deleting,
so if one deletes it by inadvertence, he'll be able to restaure it just by a quit + re-launch.

On windows I can delete these Custom panels for ever by removing them from
"C:\Program Files (x86)\TVPaint Developpement\TVPaint Animation 10 Pro (32bits) (BETA)\plugins"
there must be something similar on mac

Yes, it's in the User's Library.

I don't have a folder there called 'Plugins', there is one named 'CustomPanel', but it's full with files like '0b3ae7b9-72cc-4975-9296-733679554ebe.dip'

Is that the right folder? How do I know which files to delete?

Oops, sorry.

Try to make a right click on TVPaint in your application folder, then select "open package". You should find a folder "ressource", where you'll find plugins, then the sketch panel to withdraw :)

(Keep in mnd this is irreversible : you'll have to reinstall TVPaint if you want to have them back)

I don't erase this stuff, instead I move it to a different folder in case I may need it some day.

Why would you need to delete them ? If you don't want them visible just switch them off (deselect) in the Custom Panels .

Or throw them in the side dock , minimize , and forget about them, but they are still there because maybe some time you will want to get them back ? It's not like these panels are gigantic files that are slowing down your program . What do you gain by deleting them ?
