no they're not. All things are not possible. LOL I deleted the folders from the runtime.I went into Smith-micro, Poser9, Runtime, Library, Pose, and then deleted them. They Still show up in the library drop down when I open poser and look in "poses". I can't seem to convince the program that there are no empty folders lol. Is there another place to get into the poser innards? I have the same problem with my Poser 6 runtime. It creates "empty" folders when I delete a pose file. Weird....and frustrating!!!
