 * Hey there, I’m using this function in a custom theme with the following code 
   to stop core patterns from .org from the pattern inserter:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       //  Disable core patterns
       add_action('init', function() {
           remove_theme_support('core-block-patterns');
       });
       ```
   
 * It works and removes the patterns that are normally pulled in from [https://wordpress.org/patterns/](https://wordpress.org/patterns/)
   
   But, there are still 7x patterns being shown that are not in the theme – I’ve
   tested this on a completely empty theme with just a functions.php added that 
   contains the code above.There’s 6x random “post” patterns and 1x random “call
   to action” pattern – theme file is here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/153BZZUR-NJx7KFqKHDVUoiBZNylPeLyQ/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/153BZZUR-NJx7KFqKHDVUoiBZNylPeLyQ/view?usp=sharing)
   Bit of a head scratcher this one, any feedback would be appreciated!Cheers!

 * I activated your theme in a new WordPress installation and don’t see any patterns.
   Since these are also stored in the database, I suspect that the ones you see 
   can be found there. You should be able to see them in the editor under Patterns
   > “Manage all my patterns”. This list is empty for me.

 * Thanks [@threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) – I realise didn’t
   explain this very well – sorry! 🙂
 * It’s not that I’ve got patterns in the theme or in the database, or have created
   any.
 * It’s when you use the Pattern Inserter on the edit post/page – see this image
   here: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WnLA-fsPCUkCuKkaH-5Zcb0jn5k9tU8w/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WnLA-fsPCUkCuKkaH-5Zcb0jn5k9tU8w/view?usp=sharing)
 * You also see these same set up patterns using 2024 theme while disabling the 
   core patterns with the above code.

 * I think this is a known issue: [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/55107](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/55107)–
   contact them to give more importance to fixing it.
