We recently upgraded to ArcGIS Pro 3.  When I go to the "Locate" tab, I now have a bunch of locators listed that I did not add to my project and I have no way of getting rid of.  They look like they come from my organization's portal because of the cloud icon. I know you can't get rid of the "ArcGIS World Geocoding Service" but I have the other five I don't want. Yes, I can turn them off (disable) and even move them to the bottom of the list.  But why are they there in the first place? And why can't I remove them?  The delete "X" is grayed out so no luck there.  Anybody have any suggestions?

You need to go into your organization settings on AGOL / Portal to remove them. Just go to your-portal-url/home/organization.html?tab=utilityServices#settings.

From there you can remove individual locators.

That would remove the locators from our Organization, and I am sure I would have many unhappy people that still use them.  I am only interested in removing them from my Desktop project.

Oh, I see! Sorry, I misunderstood.

Unfortunately, you're pretty much stuck with them as long as you're signed into your org. As you note, you'd need to go into the Locatsettings and disable them for each project.

If you routinely find yourself doing this, you could create a project template that already has the locate settings configured, but that's about all I can think of. Perhaps someone else on here has more insight into this, though.
