Delete all codes

[John Thompson]

Is there a way to delete all codes? I imported a bunch of points and added their codes to the database. Now I have several hundred codes that I will never use. I would like to delete them all and start over. Do I have to delete them one at a time?

I'm trying to make a few.

John, if you did this after the last backup I think you could use replace your existing TagsAndCodes.db3 file with the backup copy. To accomplish this copy the backup found in TagsAndCodes.db3 from SD Card\VS Data_backup\TagsAndCodes to Internal Memory\VS Data\TagsAndCodes\ to replace the existing tags and codes database file. If this does not work I think I could probably delete the codes from the database if you were to connect to remote assistance. I agree that we probably need a method to delete multiple Codes and Tags.

Matt, These codes have accumulated from several imports over a long time. I about have them all deleted manually.

Is there a way to edit the TagsAndCodes.db3 file on my PC, maybe with MSExcel? It would be nice to get all the tags and codes set up with their categories and attributes, etc. on the PC and just dump it into the LS and it's all set up. I was able to do something similar with Carlson's feature code list (fcl) file and it saved a lot of time.
