To delete a custom pattern in Photoshop, you'll use the Preset Manager. Here's how:
- Go to Edit > Presets > Preset Manager.
- In the Preset Manager dialog box, click the "Preset Type" dropdown menu and select "Patterns". This will display all of your currently installed patterns.
- Select the pattern(s) you want to delete. You can select multiple patterns by holding down the Shift key (for a contiguous selection) or the Ctrl key (or Cmd key on a Mac) for non-contiguous selections.
- Click the "Delete" button.
- Photoshop will ask you to confirm the deletion. Click "OK".
- Click "Done" to close the Preset Manager.
The selected custom patterns are now removed from your Photoshop pattern library.
