The enrich tool (and perhaps some others?) make use of a .variablelist file type that get automatically saved in the root project folder. Over time, this can cause some clutter if experimenting with multiple sets of variables. However, Pro provides you with very little information about where these are saved - when accessing the lists from the tool itself, there is no path shown when opening the Variable Lists container; likewise, when saving them, there is no ability to specify where (see related idea: Change save location of variable lists at time of ... - Esri Community).

If you do locate the lists in Pro, your ability to move or delete them is completely disabled. Those options are grayed out:

You can link yourself through to the file explorer and manage them that way -- so far, nothing has exploded by moving and deleting some, so it would make sense to me if these options were just enabled in Pro. Thanks.
