How Can I Delete All Keywords in All Files?

I'm starting to get the hang of how to use the keyword functions in Lightroom, and I can see that I've been sort of mis-using them for a while.
In one of my catalogs, I would like to eliminate ALL the keywords I associated with ALL the files (about 3,500) in the catalog, and start over.
Is there any easy way to remove all the keywords, without having to go through every image individually??
Even folder by folder would be preferable to image by image.
Doable?
Thanks,
--PS

Actually, what worked was the solution I found here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/2.0/WSA83AE0BC-9C98-4699-BCC2-33FDE227AF92.html
"To permanently delete a keyword tag from photos and the catalog, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the keyword tag in the Keyword List panel and choose Delete from the menu. You can also select keyword tags and click the Minus icon (-) at the top of the Keyword List pane"
I went through and deleted the keywords themselves, and that removed them from all the images/files that had those key words.  That also allowed me to leave the few keywords I wanted to actually keep.
So that problem is solved, I think...
Thanks,
--PS

  • HT5465 how can i delete a contact ( or all contacts ) from i phone ios7 ?

    how can i delete a contact ( or all contacts ) from i phone - ios7.0.2  ?

    The fact that those internal contacts lists aren't editable is an irritation to many. I've submitted feedback to Apple several times on this, asking that in a future OS release they should either
    Provide a way to directly access that list of 'Recent Addressees' and Delete unwanted ones, or
    If not that, then at least mode it so that addressses selected from that list bubble up to the top, therefore over time moving the unused ones down out of sight.
    Other have added their own ideas, and the more they hear on this topic the more likely a future fix will become. If you feel that you would like the change, then put together your best case for it and make your wishes known directly to apple via their established Feedback links:

    I have two identical Mail accounts.  Don't know how that happened -- the second one just showed up one day. If I try to delete one account, I get a warning that all mail in the accounts will be permanently lost.  How can I delete one of the duplicate accounts without losing messages in both accounts?

    How can I delete pages from a pdf file

    Hi timk,
    None of the Acrobat.com online services allow you to edit a PDF file. But, in checking your account, I see that you purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, and you can certainly use that to edit a PDF file.
    Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Standard? It sounds to me as though you may be opening the PDF file in Adobe Reader, rather than Acrobat. (Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files.)
    If you haven't already, download and install Acrobat from https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. Then, make sure that you're opening your PDF files in that rather than Reader, when you want to edit them.
    Please let us know how it goes!
    Best,

    Hello,
    First you have to create a new folder or 2/3, om My Mac... Mail>Mailbox>New Mailbox...> Loacation>On My Mac.
    Highlight the eMails  & drag to the new box(es), if IMAP Mail will try downlodaing them again.

    Quit Mail after the move, log into gMail Webmail via a browser & delete what you wish.

  • How can I delete an alias of a file that has been deleted already?

    A couple of days ago I took a screen shot of my flight's itinerary for this summer vacations. Without noticing I created an alias of the file...I deleted the screen shot and now I just have the alias and i can not delete it nor dragg it anywhere .... it gives me the option to delete it or fix it but nothing of that works ... I tried to hold command and dragg it but it wont go anywhere and i also tried dragging it to the terminal but it wouldn't go there either...the file just won't go anywhere!!
    Help please!

    1. Consider using a Database.
    If this option is bit "too heavy"
    1. Using a BufferedReader read the whole line.
    2. Use StringTokenizer to split into tokens .
    You would get name and age.
    3. If thereare more attributes of person consider creating an Object to represent this person.
    class Person{
      private String name;
      private int age;
      Person( String name , int age ){
      public int getAge(){
       return this.age ;
    }4. Put these entries in Hashtable using name as key
    HashTable  h = new HashTable();
    // ... somewhere  later in code
      Person p = new Person( name , age );
      h.put( p.getName() , p ) ;
    // Somewhere later
      String name = "xyz" ; // or read from somewhere
    ((Person)h.get(name)).getAge();

  • How can I delete an app and all of it's data...

    I am at my wits end.  I have the Medicare express plus app and I have had to recreate a new myGov account and link the app back up with the new myGov.  However, because I had an old myGov account the app is still linked up to that and I can't uninstall and reinstall to put new data into it and link it to the new myGov.  Stupid myGov account, if you stuff up your passwords 3 times it locks you out for the rest of your life.  You have to create a new account with new email everything.  DUMB!!  Anyway....
    I have deleted the app.  I have deleted the info off iTunes and put in recycle bin then deleted the contents then synced.  Whenever I go to reinstall the medicare app, it reinstalls the app with all the same info, which no longer works because it's linked to the old myGov.  So it is not making me re register again at all.  So frustrating.  It is not in my icloud info either, so it's not picking it up from there, i've checked the settings on the iphone for that.  Once I deleted it and synced on itunes, I then turned the phone off and on again and then tried to reinstall again, STILL giving me the same app with same data, which doesn't work anymore.. far out!!
    I want to reinstall the app and have to start from scratch and register again.  It just won't come to the party and it's starting to irriate me to no end.  I just don't know how to fix it.
    Can someone please help me???  Anyone?????
    Lisa

    It's not clear from your post if you've tried downloading the app again from the App Store directly on your phone. If you haven't I'd give that a try.

  • How can I delete a corrupted old sessionstore file (it's affecting my restore session feature)?

    On 2/29/12, Windows reported that sessionstore-38.js was corruput and unreadable and requested I run CHKDSK. I run it but this file was not deleted. Also, it has resulted in my Firefox session restores to be "frozen" (same windows and tabs) to back on 2/29 when this bad file situation started on 2/29/12. I've even tried using new sessions but Firefox constantly reverts back to the old set of windows and tabs from 2/29 whenever the session drops. Help me please!!!

    Numbers in sessionstore file names can indicate that Firefox had a problem replacing your old session file with a new one.
    The quickest way to open your profile folder is
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Open Containing Folder" button
    Once the folder is open, you might need to close Firefox before proceeding.
    Please read the solution from cor-el in this thread before deleting any files: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/901885 session restore issues | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

  • HT204150 Me and my ex both used icloud account and now he has access to my contacts pictures etc. How can I delete my account all together so he can't sign in to it and delete everything off his phone??

    How can I delete my icloud and all my stuff off another phone that I don't have access to?

    actually you can change password on that account by resetting password at that site
    iforgot.apple.com. After that he will not have access to your data anymore.
    you also can wipe his phone, but I don't know if you want him coming after you for that.
    If email that you use for apple id is accesible by him you can also change your apple id at the site
    appleid.apple.com - just login and edit apple id to new email that he would not know.
    Once again, you can do bad stuff to him, but usually it is better to leave that to the police.

    Which copy of them did you delete? Those in the Data folder or the Originals folder? If it was the Data folder then you still have the full sized originals. If it was the Orignals folder then you're delete the full sized version of them and unless you have a backup you've lost them. You can try using a file recovery application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage to recover the deleted files. It will let you run it in demo mode to see what files it can recover before you have to purchase it. Unfortunately it's no inexpensive.:(
    If it were just the file in the Data folder you can try to recover the library as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
    This creates a new library leaving the original one untouched in case the rebuilt version is not what you want.
    If that doesn't work try the following;
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

    How can I delete all my mail ( 3.5 ) on my computer ( original G4 ) but leave it all on the .Mac servers?

    backup the device and restore it as new.
    If you already have or don't need a backup:
    Erase your device
    Erasing all content and settings will delete all the data from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All device settings are restored to their factory condition.
    To remove all settings and information from your device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. For more information about this feature, see iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'.
    If you are unable to erase your device, restore the device using iTunes.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  for the exact steps.
