StockDelete

Important
It is vital that you select what type of scan you wish to do e.g. if you select "Securities longer that 3 characters" StockDelete will only scan for those securities, if you select both "Securities longer that 3 characters" and "Securities that haven't traded (for whatever days you stipulate)" then it will only scan for those securities that match both the selected criteria. Therefore if you wish to delete securities matching both of these criteria, you will need to run StockDelete twice.

As you can see from the images below each different type of scan will produce different scan results.

• What happens if I delete unwanted Warrants and Options?
  If you have elected to delete Warrants and Options from your Shares database they will naturally be gone. it must be kept in mind that when you download data the following day any new or current Warrants/Options will again be downloaded to your Shares database. Should you wish to keep the Share database intact and still wish to do an efficient exploration (such as in MetaStock), it is recommended that you copy your Shares database and do a StockDelete on the "copied" database. You will then be able to do an exploration on the copied database.
