Barbara, Firstly, and importantly, back-up your file.
An individual can be deleted by right clicking on the name in either of Family, Pedigree or Index Views and deleting. To delete all Ancestors: In Family View, right click on one of the tag boxes and select "Ancestors", if required select "other spouses" and "siblings" and tag with a convenient number. Then go to Tools>Advanced Deleting and delete all individuals with that tag number. *Caution* do ensure that only the correct people are tagged, in particular watch for people who may be in more than one tree. One can opt to check each individual before deleting.

On the list of potential problems, if one of the listing is someone that I'd like to delete, or would like to delete all the ancestors of that person, for example, what's the best way to do that?
