How do you delete a camera model name you created and saved?

Hi @Extremed

You would need to delete the camera definition from the user database where your camera is stored.

1. Go to C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\pix4d\common\19
2. Open the ucmdb.xml file in NotePad++.
3. Look for your camera name (CTRL + F + " _CanonIXUS230HS_ ", for instance.
4. Delete the camera definition from to tag.

5. Save the file.

Regards

It’s a symbol of a camera model taken from the user camera model database. Learn more in our article [Edit Camera Model](https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/202558159-Menu-Project-Image-Properties-Editor-Selected-Camera-Model-Edit-Camera-Model).
