Delete Multiple Instruction Templates (Action Instructions) from Task?

TSutton3G

I'm cleaning up a station built by another programmer that has hundreds of unused routines as action instructions.  In order to remove the action instructions, I have to delete each one, one at a time (cannot select multiples with shift or control for whatever reason), and quite frankly I'm about ready to throw my computer out the window.  Is there a better, faster way to remove instruction templates?

Also will Comment instructions ever be supported in RS?

TSutton3G,

As you're saying - comment instruction will work, but it will still be a Sisyphus work ...I was in the same situation @ some point so I can relate your pain/anger ...
Anyway, you would have a couple of options, but the best one that I found would ease your work by a lot (only if you're trying to delete complete routines, otherwise you still have to go line by line though  ).

When you open your Main module you should have multiple jobs/routines ...you have the option to expand/contract each individual routine ("-" expanded, "+" contract) ...if you highlighted the line where you have that routine (see pic) you'll be able to get rid of the whole routine at once.




I hope it will help somebody @ some point since the post it's so old ...
