How can I delete a snippet in Visual Studio C# Express?

Question

I've added a number of snippets in Visual Studio C# Express.

Many are in the list double and I want to delete them.

When the cursor is on the FOLDER called "MySnippets" the delete button is active.

But when the cursor is on an individual snippet, the delete button is grayed out.

I assume this is a bug, so are snippets saved in an XML file somewhere so that I can just edit them manually?

Answer 1

There should be a Visual Studio folder in your documents folder, Snippets are below that.

Answer 2

here is the easiest way I found to manage snippets:

1. put all your snippet files in one directory somewhere.
2. press CTRL-K, B, and then the "Add.." button to add that directory.
3. then any changes you make to your snippets will be instantly reflected.
4. don't use the "Import..." button.
