Frequently Asked Questions About Delete List Items
Can I use regular expressions?
Yes. Switch to "Remove by Pattern" and select Regex mode. Your pattern will be used to match and remove items.
What does "Keep instead of removing" do?
When enabled, the tool inverts the selection — instead of removing matching items, it keeps only the matching items and removes everything else.
