Jack,
When you use File > Delete File, it deletes the currently open file
only. If you still have the file without Copy in the name, it will
remain when you delete the ones with Copy in their name.
It sounds like there's not a problem if something does go wrong as you
still have the file on an external drive.

Hi Everyone. I have a question about deleting a Family File.The
instructions in Help are easy but I want to make sure of what else I
am deleting. Here is the situation.
In Jan 2022 I purchased a new laptop PC. I had a lot of problems with
it. I took a backup before hand of everything on a seperate hard drive
and the old PC also had a copy of everything. Support in both the
manufacturer and Windows worked on it. Windows Support on two
different occasions replaced the Windows 10 program. As you know even
though you are prepared this is devastating. In the end the
manufacturer agreed to take the PC back for a full return of funds and
I purchased a PC of a different manufacturer. The new one is running
perfectly fine. I didn't lose any data but deleting and reinstalling
the Windows 10 twice as I mentioned left me with two additional copies
of a family file, shown as Copy and Copy 2.
With *copy" Family open when I click on DELETE FAMILY FILE. and it
does so, and follow up with deleting Family "copy 2" my question is:
Question-will the actual file still remain in documents in the
"Legacy Family File."? That is what I want to end up with. I also have
the original of this family still in tack and go to it once in a
while. I don't want both copies shown on the list of family files.
I am just being cautious so I don't delete the whole family.
I will appreciate all thoughts sent me.
