To partially answer my own question (maybe it'll help someone else) I came across this article:
http://oldwiki.tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Delete_Tiddler which points to: http://lewcid.org/tiddlywiki-bookmarklets/ alas, that page has expired, but I found it on the Internet Archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20091021233319/http://lewcid.org/tiddlywiki-bookmarklets/ Copying the link location for the DeleteAllTagged bookmarklet and double decoding it we get the following code: var tag = prompt('Delete tiddlers with the tag:',''); store.suspendNotifications(); var t = store.getTaggedTiddlers(tag); for(var i=0;i<t.length;i++) store.removeTiddler(t[i].title); store.resumeNotifications(); refreshDisplay(); (which for my purposes I can just set tag to "deleteMe". I'd still appreciate any advice on whether or not my approach is the right way as per my original query about updating content.
