Affinity designer is not allowing me to export or delete a sample document!

[Sayan]

I recently downloaded Affinity Designer. On opening AD one is welcomed with some sample illustrations (Downloadable). I downloaded some illsutrations and modified them a little bit. When I closed the document I was not asked, what to do with the document. Now that I have downloaded a 311 MB illustration, I don't see the option to delete it nor can I find where is it stored on my mac. I would either like to export it (AD is not allowing to export since it's locked) or delete it which I can't!

So how can I remove this lock feature in order to delte or export the 311 MB illustration?

Short answer is you cannot save or export the samples. They are really for seeing how they are made.

 

I don't know where they are downloaded to on a Mac. A search here should have a post to the location. It's been asked before.

On Macs, these samples are downloaded to a normally hidden system level private/var (variable) directory that is emptied whenever you restart your Mac. If you want to see that directory, you can use the File > Reveal in Finder menu item like for any other open file. If you want to delete it from there, you can do so but it would be a bad idea to do that while the file is open.

 

Much easier & safer just to not worry about it & from time to time do a restart to empty all the variable files in one go.
