Proper method to delete user graphics from atlas?

Question

So after a few attempts at working with user graphics I got my intended results, now I just can figure out how to clean up my previous attempts. I can delete the files from AppData\Roaming\SolarWinds\NetworkAtlas\Maps\Orion\localhost\NetObjects\User Graphics but Atlas very helpfully puts them back in there on start up. Don't get me wrong this sync is a great help, I just can't figure out the voodoo to override it. I have the same issue if I want to update just one graphic in a set, the db will overwrite the change. I have already tried yelling at it. no effect.

Hello,

Maybe you can try clean them from Database itself to begin with.
Execute the following query on the Orion database:

select * FROM MapStudioFiles WHERE FileType=128

Then set radial to READ WRITE
and highlight rows you wish to delete, usual show WMF filetypes
right click and DELETE ROWS

Note if Graphics exist in mentioned folder above on any Machine with Network Atlas,
when NA is launched it will reimport them in. So just be sure they removed from everywhere.

Thanks, Kev
