If you're on a PC and you know the names of the fonts, exercise a search.

That should bring y'all to the fonts binder. Delete whatever you don't need.

I am using a pc and I already removed them from where I downloaded them to. How could they get from the Photoshop Fonts folder to the Windows Fonts folder on their own? And why would I need to run a search for the when I know where I downloaded them to? I am confused.

When you download a font, information technology does not become to the windows Font folder. When you install the font, it installs there automatically. Deleting a downloaded font will not remove from the windows font folder. Photoshop uses the windows font folder to make up one's mind what fonts y'all have.

hundreds of fonts installed tin can crusade major hangups on your figurer I reccommend never installing fonts into your windows directory instead create a folder somewhere not within the system section ie my documents download all your fonts to in that location.

Then go to c:> Windows > Fonts and select font settings on the left hand side and check the allow fonts to exist installed as shortcuts box.

Then when you go to install a font you volition see a new option at the top request if you would like to install this font equally a link. Check it for yes this makes your arrangement run and then much faster especially withinn programs like photoshop that initialises the blazon tool on every utilise, If you have thousands of fonts this will be slow.

Using this method the fonts are installed into a none essential arrangement binder and is made available to all programs that uses fonts as it is referenced in your font installations and will simply load the font every bit you need it.

I would too recommend downloading a program called font frenzy this will make clean upwards your fonts and delete or repair broken ones. It volition too let y'all reset your fonts back to arrangement defaults (it ignores fonts installed via the method I suggested above as information technology is non technically in system fonts folder)
