How to permanently delete default gcode files

When I delete the gcode files (default ones supplied with printer) like Benchy from the printer, they all come back after a power cycle. I can delete the ones I upload and they stay gone, just the original ones keep coming back. Any way to stop them from coming back?

Hello @grayzone ,

Welcome to the Creality Forum. Glad to have you onboard… :+1:

I’m guessing those files are part of the firmware and are permanent. :thinking:

I’m not sure how to delete them but just curious as to why you want to delete them…?

Well for one they take up space, I never plan to print them. So would like to use the space for other prints.

It will take some time, but it must be in one of the start up files, should be able to comment it out.

Did u mange to get this done, i am also trying to do this. I dont even use them, maybe benchy

What was the outcome of this?
I want to delete these default gcode files as well… I’m sick of scrolling through them to find the things that I actually want to print. I mean… ho many side mounts or spool holders do you need to print! I’ve been 3D printing for 20 years and I have never printed a benchy… and never intend to.

Can’y believe it’s so hard to get rid of these files.

I found where they stored them and deleted them there so they could no longer copy them to the print directory. Will go back and see if I can find the path so others can delete them as well.

They are stored in the following path /rom/usr/share/klipper/gcodes/K1_Max/
