Sometimes you want to remove all TUs from a certain project from a TM.

Removing all TUs from a recent project

Using a text editor

• Open the TMX file in a text editor and remove the last TUs.
• Make sure that you do not remove the closing tags </body> and </tmx>.

Using CafeTran

• Open TMX in TMX Editor mode (Select ‘Edit TMX Memory’ in the ‘New Project’ section in the Project Manager).
• Type the range of TUs you wish to delete in the filter box above the source box (e.g.: 1-25)
• Choose Task > Remove filtered TMX units.

• Filter on the unique string:

• Remove the filtered TUs from the TM ‘Test.TMX’ (loaded as a project!):

• Check the confirmation:

• Save the project in order to save the TM ‘Test.TMX’:

• Optionally, check your TM in a text editor:
