  • FTM 2010 How do you delete duplicate media thumbnails?

    I've been merging my FTM, Roots Magic and Ancestry trees, but I've ended up with duplicate media thumbnails (on rh side of screen. How do I delete the duplicates? There is only one master file in the media folder but 4 copies of the thumbnail.
    This is driving me to drink!
    Any help / assistance appreciated

      If you click on the MEDIA tab at the top of the screen (Plan/Places/People/Media/Sources etc) you should get all your thumbnails shown in alphabetical order in the centre of the screen. Do the duplicates show there - if so right click on the one(s) you want to delete, and select delete.

      If you do have duplicates there then select Media details to check that they are not linked to different people.

          Blimy, so why did the obvious of selecting and delete not work then.
          A right click is not the normal way of doing things in a program, I wonder who wrote this programe code.

          Thanks for the answer Elaine
