Delete person

Meaning

Deleting a person means permanently and irrevocably removing all data recorded about that person from the database. For their parents, the person is removed as a child. For their children, the parent is set to NN . For their spouses, this person appears as NN in marriage records. If the Omega setting "General | Delete Marriages" is enabled, all marriage records for this person are also deleted for the other spouse.

Deleting one or more people is a destructive operation. Therefore, for your safety, you will be prompted with a non-disableable warning message to confirm the operation before it is executed.

Delete individual person

There are two ways to delete a person:

In the navigator, in the detail view of a person directory , right-click on the person to be deleted to open the context menu and select the Delete function.
On the profile card of the person you want to delete, click the trash can icon in the menu bar .

The person is then listed as deleted (a "dead" or "inactive" entry) in the database and appears at the very end of the directory of all persons . As an alternative to creating a new entry, you can edit these inactive entries and populate them with new data.

Delete people from a people directory

To delete all people in a directory at once, select "Delete people " from the context menu .
