bulk delete lexical entries

[Bruce Nevin]

In a series of conversion processes (first Shoebox to  Cellar, then Lingualinks, then FLEx), lexicon entries were made for fully inflected forms that should not be headwords. I'm getting around to cleaning them out. 

In Lexicon Edit I can filter for sets of these. I can then go to Edit > Select All. However, I see no way to delete all of the selected entries at once. 

• Edit > Delete Selected Entry selects the last entry in the  highlighted list and offers to delete only that one.
• Right-click selects one entry in the list and offers a context menu pick to delete that one.

Is there a solution, or do I have to pick them off one by one?

Bruce,

 

I think you should be able to do what you are wanting via the Bulk Edit Entries tool, using the Delete tab, as illustrated in this screen shot:

 

Hoping that helps,
