Are you sure the user name in the error messages coincide with blanked-out name
for your Gimp profile?

Have changed/upgraded/reinstalled your computer / version of Gimp recently?

I can find a copy of those preset folders, vaguely remember them from years ago.
I think pre-Gimp 2.8 and they sort of work - I do not have the bespoke brushes
to go with them.

bottom line - more information please.
