Deleting notes globally

[WaldoNJ]

Recently realized that when I originally imported a gedcom into Reunion that it created hundreds of notes labelled *New [_UST] into the marriage event which only says "MARRIED". Is there an easy way to globally delete all these useless Notes?

Yes. If you look in the manual under "Deleting Fields" you will find step by step instructions. (A "Note" is just another kind of field.)

In this case you will want to delete all person fields "*New [_UST]". You will be warned that the field contains data (in your case, the data is useless, consisting of "MARRIED"). So you will go ahead and delete the field entirely.

When making global changes like this, though, it's best to do so only on a copy of your file.
