Maybe not presets, but the VST’s themselves definitely.

All you need do is delete (or move) all VST3 files bar curveeq and vst3plugin set (VST Sound repositories relating to the plugins can also be removed).

The VSTPlugins folder can also be deleted.

Ensure to remove the 3 VST XML files from the Cubase Application Data folder and restart cubase

Note: your cubase may start more quickly
