In MobaXterm, there is a "Custom Sessions" node that contains all the same items as my bookmarked "User Sessions":

It's annoying, but there doesn't seem to be any way to delete the Custom Sessions node.

Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

Look for the file Custom.mxtpro, it should be in your MobaXterm install directory. It's a zip file, containing (among others) a file named Custom.bookmarks.ini . Delete this ini file from Custom.mxtpro, and the "Custom Sessions" node will be gone.

    Tip for 7zip users on Windows: If you're getting "access is denied" when trying to delete Custom.bookmarks.ini from Custom.mxtpro then you're going to need to re-run 7zip as an administrator. You don't have to add 7z to your PATH and look up the cmd/powershell syntax or anything gross like that. Just right-click on the "7-Zip File Manager" in the start menu and choose More>"Run as Administrator" – Alex Jansen Jun 20 '19 at 09:36

I had a similar issue deleting sessions. I would delete them and they would reappear there when I restarted the application. I even tried reinstalling the application only to see all the bookmarks there.

Then I found a file C:\Users[username]\Documents\MobaXterm\MobaXterm.ini that has all the bookmarks listed in there. If you edit that file you should be able to get rid of the unwanted bookmarks.

  • Not what I was looking for, I can delete my bookmarks but the issue is not able to delete "Custom Sessions" – ValiShah May 18 '18 at 20:47
