Quicker ways to cleanup a HEC-RAS project

[Jholmes]

I've got a HEC-RAS project that I've been working on for a couple years so I've got nearly 100 geometry files, 30 flow files, 100 plan files etc. Has anyone found a quick way to delete all the extras that I don't want anymore? I can do them one at a time, but I'd like to be able to just select a bunch and delete them.

Thanks.

Note the number after each plan, flow, and geometry file that you want to delete.

Go into the folder and delete the appropriate plan, flow, geometry files using Windows Explorer.

Open the .prj file with a text editor (WordPad, notepad, etc) and delete the lines referencing those specific plan, geometry, and flow files.

Hope that helps.

That seems to be working. Thanks!

A tool to handle this task has been on my wish list for a while now, just on the off chance that someone at HEC happens to read this board. Sort of a "program manager," similar to the component managers in HMS. Ideally, it would let you copy, delete (multiple), or rename flow, geometry, and plan files. A tool to manage plans would also be useful, showing the geometry, flow, and settings of all plans in one window.

I know, it's free software, etc. I'm just saying.
