    Hi
    I'm using phpgedview 4.3 and I'm seeking a solution on how to delete multiple unlinked shared notes.  For various reasons I split my family genealogy down to Paternal/Maternal.  I tried to clean the gedcoms before putting them on the web server using the 'Database Repair > Remove unused object' in Gramps.  However on selecting 'Links' 'Shared Notes' from the phpgedview menu I discovered that I had over 300 unlinked shared notes in the paternal database.

    I started to open each one and select the 'delete shared note' option but this will take for ever!  I downloaded the gedcom to my pc and removed a few of them as a trial and then put the gedcom back up but this didn't seem to work?

    Can anyone suggest a way to delete multiple unlinked shared notes other than individually.  Your help would be appreciated.

    My thanks in advance

    Brian

    You'll have to delete them individually.

    You can speed up the process by configuring your account to automatically accept database changes.  You will need to log in as admin, and then edit the account from the User Administration page.
