How do I delete an Imported Snippet in Visual Studio?

I imported a snippet, and I want it gone. Problem is that the Snippet Manager has the Remove button grayed out when I go in and try to remove it, any ideas?

For Ubuntu users, please remove snippet files in ~/.config/Code/User/snippets
Not sure if applicable for other Linux distributions.

Yes, this is because you can only remove directories and not individual snippets (at least from the Code Snippets Manager, you know, Microsoft style!):

To remove a directory from the Code Snippet Manager, select the directory that you want to remove.

Chances are that code snippet was imported to Program Files folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Web\Snippets\CSS\1033\CSS) instead of C:\Users\\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Code Snippets

Snippet Manager displays the location of selected snippet, just go there, delete it manually and restart Visual Studio.
