Delete URLs manually when all fails

A delete won't print anything but the headers. It could take some time to delete all of those, especially if the machine/database is in use by anything else, like search.

Thanks Mark, the window froze for a long time, then I closed it, and did a select statement

texis -d E:\CultureCaWalks\CultureCa_Site1b\db1 -s "select Url from html where Url matches 'http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com%'"

and it seems that all Urls were deleted!

Has a new walk occurred between then and now? If so db1 might not be the right database any more or may have been recycled. Try
texis -d E:\CultureCaWalks\CultureCa_Site1b\db1 -s "select Url from html"
to see what's in the database.

If more than the printerfriendly pages are gone then something besides what was discussed here has been done by you or someone else.

Sorry I wasn't clear in my last message - all *PrinterFriendly* URLs were gone, but the rest were still in the database, so the deletion worked. Thanks for your help!
