Paragraph and Character Styles that have been deleted reappear when document is saved.
After a paragraph or character style is deleted and you save the document the styles reappear.
Mac OS Sequoia
Illustrator 2026 30.0 and 30.1
Expected to be fixed in Beta 30.2 — please check if it works there as expected.

Added a simple test file and a video of the behavior.

There are too similar reports on the topic:
1. Paragraph Styles reverting back — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/35908849
2. File does not keep imported and applied paragraph styles after saving the file — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/33643333
Do these feel familiar? -
Reggie, can you share a test file with the team? A couple of screenshots, to see which styles got added, would also be helpful.
Attach them here, if it’s OK to share them publicly, or send these via sharewithai@adobe.com (in this case mention the link to this report, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50970673)
