Hey Sean, To be *extra safe*, you can use something like this:
''Going to delete the following tiddlers:'' <br/> <$list filter="[!is[system]regexp[^Formatting List]]" variable="tidToDelete" > * <<tidToDelete>> <br/> </$list> !! ''If you are sure'' Copy/paste the filter above into this button: <$button> Delete these tiddlers! <$list filter="PLACE_FILTER_HERE" variable="tidToDelete"> <$action-deletetiddler $tiddler=<<tidToDelete>>/> </$list> </$button> This makes use of the regexp operator: https://tiddlywiki.com/#regexp%20Operator If you copy/paste the code I placed above into a new tiddler on tiddlywiki.com you can see that it will delete all Tiddlers whose title *start* (thats the ^ character means) with "Formatting List". It prints those titles out to make *sure* you are going to catch *only* the right ones. If you're happy, you can copy/paste the filter into the button where Ive indicated and then press it to delete them. For your use case, you can change the filter to be something like: "[!is[system]regexp[^week of]]" But *make sure* before you place this in the button filter!
