* delete info

[pete56]

I have found that I imported some incorrect people in my database. What is the easiest way to delete all of their information. Need to delete the person and all their place and media if any. Thank you

You can do it via a diagram. Show them and select each one (using Ctrl+left click) then press delete. You’ll be asked if you wish to delete them from the diagram, or delete them completely. Select the latter, and after confirming you really want to delete them, they’ll be completely removed.

To delete their Place and Media and perhaps Source records will take a bit more work.
It depends on whether you want to only delete those records that are currently linked to those Individuals, or you would be happy to purge all such records that are not linked to anything, i.e. are completely unused.

To only delete records linked to your unwanted Individuals, you must NOT delete those Individuals.
You will first have to find all the records that are linked to them and only them by using Queries & Plugins.
Then you can then delete all the required Individual, Place, Media, Source and other records.

If you are happy to purge all unused records then delete the Individual records first.
Then use File > Split Tree Helper... and under Other Records choose the four Delete .... Records left with no links to them options and click Perform Tasks.
Unfortunately, that does not delete unused Place records so they must be deleted separately.

See FHUG Knowledge Base Delete One or Many Records for advice on deleting via the Records Window, Split Tree Helper, Diagrams and Queries.

Use the Check for Unlinked Media Plugin to delete Media files no longer linked to Media records.
