It sounds like you are using the FileMaker menu pulldown delete instead of the eBase delete which does a whole bunch of other things like getting rid of related records and putting the name into deleted_.102.

Subject: [support] deleting duplicates (and random records)

I seem to be having trouble deleting records.  When I first set up my database and did a search for duplicates.  I selected the records I wanted deleted, and then hit the delete button.  The records are all still in my database, but now have a "Y" in the dupe field.  I have tried to run the check for duplicates script again, but ebase just goes into a thinking coma every time and I have to force quit the application.
 
Also, if I want to delete a record randomly (let's say I hit Ctrl-D instead of Ctrl-F), being used to File Maker, I hit Ctrl-E.  It asks me if I'm sure I want to delete the record.  I say yes.  It does its thing, and then the record is still there.  What am I doing wrong? 
 
And yes, I'm using the master level password.
 
thanks,
