I am starting to use manipulator more, and noticed I can't delete a custom profession once it is made.  I am wondering where these are stored? Can I just open up a text or xml file someplace and erase/alter the custom professions?

There should be a directory called 'professions' , in dwarf fortress\hack\plugins\ probably. I think professions will be stored as text files in there.

That was it. Thanks. Actually it is in in the root df folder. I never noticed it show up there.

You can copy-paste the professions files between versions as to retain your professions too, if you changed file. Obviously if its compatable of course.

Obviously if its compatable of course.

The format's really simple (a name plus a list of labor names) - the only thing that could cause a compatibility break is if an existing labor is renamed or removed (and if that's not handled already, it should be simple enough to handle). So I wouldn't be too worried about copying them across DF versions.
