Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

Can we get the ability to modify/delete/hide system presets within a future version? I recently bought a Elegoo CC and took it as an opportunity to switch over to orcaslicer however find it annoying that any change to a system preset regardless of how small requires a user preset to be created.

A few examples of why this would be useful:

Some printers do not have the web interface enabled by default within the system preset. Enabling this forces a user preset to be created despite there being no reason for me to ever need to use the system preset now as all paraemters defining printer print size, machine limits have gone unchanged
Some process system presets are still using rectilinear infill which should almost be never used, switching this parameter to a different infill for every process system preset immedietely double the amount of presets in the list

I understand the reasoning behind this not being a feature is to do always having a backup preset that always works defined by a printers manufacturer or whatever however having the ability to overwrite/delete these, or at a minimum hide them so that they don't show up for the OCD affected of us who like to tinker and modify (something that personal additive manufacturing is all about) would be great.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

The ability to overwrite/delete or at minimum hide system presets for those of us that would never use them even if we need to tick a box that says we understand the risks of losing a guarenteed working preset before this feature is enabled

Describe alternatives you've considered

Remove the requirement to always have a printer, filament and process system preset so those of us can just create a custom preset of a printer without needed a system preset version
