Bogus camera models in Preferences->Files

I just installed my upgrade to 2022, and noticed some odd data on the Preferences->Files tab.  [It turns out that this same information was also in my 2021 installation, but this section doesn't exist in 2020.]

The Default Processing section shows a list of various camera models.  According to the user guide "...the Files pane will contain a list of known cameras you have shot with."  This information is almost entirely bogus.  I have connected only Sony cameras, and only Samsung and Motorola phones to my computer.  The list contains Canon, Nikon, iPhones, and a variety of models whose manufacturer isn't listed.  It also contains serial numbers for the Canon and Nikon models.  I can only guess that this data left over from testing at On1. There appears to be no way to add or removed these entries.

And oddly, the list shows no serial number for any of the devices that were actually connected to my computer.

  This is something you'll have to talk to tech support about.

  This happens when you browse a folder which contains files (like stock images) with EXIF data. If this includes a camera model and / or serial number On1 will show it in this list. It would be really helpful if you could cleanup this list however.
