Did the data you wish to keep also have Custom ID numbers? I assume you mean UserID numbers. If only the imported data had those UserID numbers, you could select for UserID not equal blank and then delete them. Same logic for the description of individual you mentioned. Unless you have something that uniquely identifies the data you want to delete, it may be hard. Perhaps you added all the imported records with a RIN number higher than the records already in your file. Ron Taylor

To do some arcane sorting and family-building, a couple months ago I exported part of a large database from PAF5 to Legacy (free v). The GED contained without my noticing it in time to fix it before import data in the PAF fields for description of individual and the AFN, as well as a Custom ID. That is now causing me grief, as the description and the AFN are in many of the reports Legacy creates ... and I can't find them to delete the content IN Legacy. The information is extraneous for my purpose here. So, I took the database over to the FHC to see if I could delete them there using the paid v. Still couldn't see them to delete. So -- how do I get rid of these without having to edit the output manually?
