I have a problem with Altium and i couldn't solve it.

When I add new symbol to my integrated library, by default it has 6 footprints and the symbol designator and comment is same every time (not Altium's default) and I should delete them every time to add my footprint and symbol. I want to change it back to the default (schematic symbol with no footprint, NO comment and default designator "*") please help me solve this problem.

Properties window

default footprints added to schematic symbol

When you place that component on the schematic, you can select one of the six footprints, and that one footprint will be placed on the PC board.

You will find that many schematic components have multiple footprints associated with them - resistors may have footprints called axial0.4, 1206, 0805, ... for example.
