Easy way to delete tiddlers with a certain tag?

[Jake]

I've searched the forum and I know this question was raised a couple of times, but many of the topics are 5 or 10 years old and I'm not sure if they are suitable for the current version of TiddlyWiki since all those solutions are quite complicated, especially for a newbie.

Plus maybe there is a convenient working plugin for that or smth?

Hit the $:/AdvanedSearch tiddler (click the magnifier glass next to the sidebar search), click on the "Filter" tab and enter "[tag[tagName]]" (no quotes) in the search box. There is an option to delete or export all search results right next to the search box.

Best,

Thanks! That's waaaaaaay easier than all the other solutions I found on the forum! I assume it was not always that easy?

There wasn't *always* a delete button in the $:/AdvancedSearch > Filter tab, but it was added quite some time ago, precisely for folks (like you) that want to quickly get rid of a bunch of unwanted tiddlers.

Note that this also works if the tiddlers don't share a tag value in common.  Simply type in a space-separated list of tiddler titles (using double square brackets around any title that contains spaces), and then press the delete button.

enjoy,
