Deleting Synth Presets, Moving and Removing Drum Samples from Kits

I often get bogged down trying to do something that I think should be simple, and can't figure it out. Are of these possible, and if so, how?
- Is there a way to delete a synth preset from within the Deluge?
- Is there a way to remove a drum sample (i.e. free up the pad) from a kit within Deluge?
- Is there a way to move a drum sample to a different row in the kit like you can a synth note?
Comments
I can answer 1.
Press load and enter the name of the patch to delete. Don't select it at this point
Whilst the name of the patch is flashing, press Shift + Delete.
You can then delete the patch.
Thanks much @ceetronic
For the other two:
2) Hold a pad on the main grid on the same row as the sample, then it's Shift + Delete to remove the notes and clear the sample (same as deleting a clip from Song View).
3) Hold the audition pad for the sample, hold down the up / down knob and twist.
Thanks @steamboatbill - not sure why those didn't cross my mind.
Thanks so much for this, this was driving me crazy! I just could not find these steps in the manual. Are they there?
Doesn’t work for me. If I create a new synth but don’t load a wavetable, (or even if I do) it won’t delete. I often make mistakes on patch Loading and I’ve got 15 or so synths I can’t delete.
What does the display say when you try to delete a synth preset?
A bit of a late response but I found that I just needed this guidance.
Assuming you are using the new OLED book, the deletion of a recording/sample can be found on page 173. It appears it is on the same page in the non-OLED book as well.
DELETING A SAMPLE
1. Press [SHIFT]+[Browse] (this is where you will see a "Bottom - Top" message.) Press the main select knob. This should get you into navigating your folders.
2. Navigate to the sample to delete
3. Press [SHIFT}+[DELETE] to delete
4. Display will ask you to confirm deletion
5. Press [Save] or (SELECT) to confirm
6. Sample deletion complete
