In all the design files, there are three default libraries in curated libraries. I don’t need them, but I can’t find anywhere to completely delete them. Does anyone know?

Hi everyone - sending an update to address your questions/comments/concerns:
First: What are these libraries, and why are they showing up?
Curated Libraries are libraries made by Figma that contain basic building blocks and layouts. We’ve made these available by default in design files so that everyone has resources that enable them to get started faster.
And, just like other libraries, they can be removed or added back to files or at the team level if you’d like! You can even use these as a starting point to create your own custom library for your team.
You can remove these libraries on an individual file level by going into the libraries modal and clicking the button next to each library. For more information, please see this Help Center article.
If you are on a Pro plan, you can remove these libraries in your team’s settings, the same way you enable or disable libraries for your team. For more information, please see this Help Center article.
This is a new feature we’re testing and have only rolled out to a portion of people, so we really appreciate your feedback – feel free to drop additional comments here.
I hope this helps clarify – also want to take a moment to say thank you for your patience with me while I worked to get the correct info gathered.

Hey @Asher2 - it’s a bit difficult for me to tell specifically, but I see you have a support ticket open, and someone will be able to take a closer look on that end.
Ty for your patience 🙏🏼
hi. I have the same issue. Are there any guidelines on how to hide or remove this library?
I sent an email to the official contact but have not yet received a reply.
Oh no - I’m so sorry @Asher2. I have someone trying to figure out what happened. I’ll update you when I know more.
Same issue. Would really love to remove these as they are showing up right below our design system and could cause confusion for the team.

Same issue here. Just started to show up. Is this a bug or a unwanted feature?
This is my worry too. Will cause confusion, clutter to a space. I under stand the desire to have these put there should be an option to not have these show up on every new file.
I’ve got the same issue, these 3 curated libraries just showed up on all my files and we don’t need them. Also, in my admin library settings, I am unable to turn them off.
Hey all - I do not have an update yet, unfortunately. I am awaiting further guidance, and will do my best to get answers here when I can.
Also – please do file a ticket if you haven’t yet here.
If you have, please post the case number you are assigned and I can add it to the cases we’re looking into about this.
Also @Asher2 – haven’t forgotten about you. I’m working to get your case figured out. I’ll DM you once I know more on my end.
Okay, I will wait for your message.
Throwing my hat in the ring. These curated libraries just showed up for me and have been added to every file in my organization. I want to disable them immediately across the board to avoid confusion. How do I do this? Updating dozens of files manually isn’t a viable option.
The audacity from Figma to add these to EVERY file, and especially under Org and Enterprise plans. You really think we’ll “kickstart our next design” with these cute mobile app mockups?

Facing the same issue – these libraries just showed up. No way to remove them across my team. It’s cluttering up the UI and causing confusion.

Not allowing us to check it off from Setting > Libraries. you’d just grayed out the choice to take it off.
I, too, think I shouldn’t adopted this from Figma, this is so annoying.
I have no problem with the addition of new template files or libraries or what have you. I do take issue with having the curated libraries attached to every file I make. I logged this as a bug because I sincerely hope they didn’t intend this as a feature.
This is so unnecessary and confusing. We do have Figma community to use the resources like this. Please never do things like this in the future.

I can’t get this panel to show no matter where I look. I’m on a Pro plan.
I just asked the team admin to turn OFF the “curated libraries” since they’re the only ones able to do so for my team but it doesn’t show up on their side. Amazing, Figma! I see that you are trying to win the worst UX of the year award!
Dreadful UX. Please remove this “improvement”!
