Asset wrongly added to add-on pack

[Jonopen]

I've somehow inadvertently managed to add an asset (a group) to an add-on pack (The Shizzle Style and Brush Pack) and now cannot delete it. Screenshot of asset panel below. 

I assume this must be a bug if you can add but can't delete. All the other assets in the pack are 'locked'. Is there away to unlock them or do I remove and add them again?

Removing and reinstalling that pack is probably all you can do. You can do that from the Account dialog (Cmd+N, then click on Account at the top left of the dialog). Navigate to that pack, and then (I think) click on the icon that shows it's been downloaded/installed.

I agree that it feels like a bug, and I don't think you should be able to add to that category given that the Store content installed via Account is locked to prevent changes.

FWIW, on my Mac I have the Shizzle Assets (I think!) I installed using the Account window -- IOW, not by downloading & then installing the pack.

So I just tried adding a group item to the same "Square vectors with rough edges" subcategory of my Shizzle Assets panel. I then tried right-clicking on that group, the option to delete it highlighted in the popup menu. When I clicked it, it asked me if I was sure I wanted to delete it & when I said I did, it was deleted.

So maybe this is a Windows only thing ... or I just was was mistaken about how I installed the pack?

What icon do you see for it in the Assets panel?

A small thumbnail view of all the objects in the group.

Sorry, no, for the category.

If you mean the 'shopping bag' icon like in the OP's screenshot, I do not see it, so I guess that means I was was mistaken about how I installed the pack & did it via a manual download.

Thanks Walt for your reply and RC-R for looking into this.

For info the pack was originally installed using the Account window.

I've now tried uninstalling the pack - just the assets part called 'The Shizzle'.

After doing this I discovered this had happened before, ie another group had been added but to a different subsection. I know this because they were not uninstalled. The screenshot below shows what was left after uninstalling.

I went ahead and reinstalled the pack via the Account window, but it didn't overwrite the two old subsections, it just moved the rogue assets to the top of their respective lists. The right click options were still unavailable (greyed out/locked).

 

One last thing I tried was to uninstall, rename the subsections (square/Flanks), then reinstall. The result was the renamed sections were still displaying (and locked), but the original subsections were recreated ok.

It's too late for today, but maybe I'll try uninstalling the whole pack next  🤔

WORK AROUND / SOLUTION

Uninstall the whole add-on bundle, not just part with the unwanted assets, and reinstall.

I suppose the problem is that I don't know how it occurred in the first place, so presumably it could happen again.

btw I have found the Shizzle Style and Brush Pack a very useful and versatile addition to Affinity Designer.
