Deleting keywords doesn't delete keywords...

Let me explain:

Say I click on an image in the browser, click the keyword generator, add a few keywords. If I create a new Library smart collection and in the search criteria select keyword, I see the keywords that I created for the image that I created the keywords for.

Now if I go back to that image and delete all the keywords, then go back to the Library smart collection those deleted keywords still appear in the options to select those keywords, if that makes any sense. Even if I delete that entire Smart Library.

So my question is how do you permanently delete previously created keywords so they don't reappear in Smart Libraries?

Smart Collections, not Libraries, different things.
Keyword Editor, it doesn't "generate" anything.

It stays as long as there is such named Keyword Collection. Delete the Keyword Collection itself, and it no longer appears as a Smart Collection criteria. Just tested.

BenB,

Thanks for that. And now for the dumbest question: Where would I find the Keyword collection to delete?

Never mind, figured it out :silly:

Yeah, like that. LOL

What I didn't see was that the collection is in an event, revealed when the reveal triangle to the left of the event is ticked to the ppen position.
