Multiple Game Selections for Deletion

365dalbeattie · Post by **365dalbeattie** » Sat Feb 22, 2014 1:06 pm

I am a new user, and can't find the answer to this in the videos or on the web. I have various databases and would like to delete non-relevant games from them. I can delete games one at a time, but can't find the facilty to select and then delete blocks of games.

Help please. Presume that I am missing something obvious. Is there a way to do this without using a filter and copying games into a new database and then deleting the old one. A bit like CB where you can select and delete blocks of games.

The easiest way that I have found is to edit the pgn file in a text editor. Not ideal but works easy enough.

HTH,

Mickey, thanks for taking the time to respond. I have tried this and it works well. Hopefully an in-program method will be added at some point in the future. Thanks again.

Unfortunately, there is currently no multi-select delete in HCE.

It is a feature we intend to add in the future.

Currently, to work around this I filter for the games I want to remove, then invert the filter and export to another database. This solution works well if you can filter (search) for the games you want to remove.
