I have checked there. They keep reappearing in the original folder that we saved them to. This only happens if you open a mxd that had that style in it. It disreguards the delete and installs it back in its original folder.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 19 Mar 2015 22:18:28 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/style-references/m-p/442934#M25245 CalvinJones 2015-03-19T22:18:28Z
