What is LOCAL USER in my Product Library?

I am curious what LOCAL USER is in some, but not all of my Product Library categories. Do I need to see this? If not, how do I remove it?

    LOCAL USER is a catch-all for anything which hasn't been assigned to a product -- scenes and presets you create, third-party content without metadata, etc.  It will show up in whatever categories individual files have been categorized in.

    Thanks for explaining that, I think I understand how it works now.

    Is there a way to remove this completely? It has 16K + references in it

    No, in DS 4.9 every asset has to belong to a product, so LOCAL USER is needed.

    Better question:

    Is there a way to get these assigned to the actual products? Preferably by figuring out which product, and redoing the packaging (ie, uninstall, fix, reinstall)

    I often mention this in the forum:
    They are products that have incomplete metadata: here is how to assign the proper meta data and get out of "lost and found" jail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-sdHEBNCB4
