Problem with Autocad 2013 page setup

Hi all, I am having issues with what I believe could be a corrupted page setup file. I have gone to the page setup manager to try and delete and re-create, but ANY interaction with the page setup in question causes CAD to immediately lock up and crash (even a right click, somehow). Does anyone know the folder location of these files so that i can go in and manually get rid of one? Thanks

 

Edit: I am using a windows 7 machine.

This lisp is supposed to delete those for you. Page setups are kept in the drawing.

 

;;; save this file to a folder on your C:\ drive, name it PAGESETUP.LSP or any name you want
;;; use the AppLoad command, navigate to this file so it will load each time
;;; type DELETEALLPS to delete all page setups in the drawing or set up a button
;;; type PAGESETUP_IMPORT to import all page setups in the drawing or set up a button

;Command: (deleteAllPS)
;or
;Command: (deletePS "PageSetupName")

(defun c:DELETEALLPS ()
 (vl-load-com)
 (vlax-for ps (vla-get-plotconfigurations
              (vla-get-activedocument
              (vlax-get-acad-object)))
 (vla-delete ps)
 )
)

(defun deletePS (name)
 (vl-load-com)
 (vlax-for ps (vla-get-plotconfigurations
              (vla-get-activedocument
              (vlax-get-acad-object)))
   (if (= (strcase (vla-get-name ps)) (strcase name))
   (vla-delete ps)
   )
 )
)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;import page setups - not sure of the original source for this code below
(defun C:PAGESETUP_IMPORT (/ exprt)
(setq exprt (getvar "EXPERT"))
(setvar "EXPERT" 2)

;;*******
;;;CUSTOMIZE THE LINE BELOW THIS ONE FOR YOUR PATH AND DRAWING OR TEMPLATE WITH YOUR PAGESETUPS, see below
(command "._-PSETUPIN" "C:\\YOURPAGESETUPS.dwg" "*")  ;change the name and path to your dwt file, etc

(setvar "expert" exprt)
)

;your pagesetup path will resemble the one below, type that in the line above for YOURPAGESETUPS.DWG
;"C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\Autodesk\\AutoCAD Mechanical 2015\\R20.0\\enu\Template\\template.dwt"
