I inadvertently imported a GEDCOM file with 2638 people into my own tree. How do I get rid of these people (and their families) - preferably not one by one? They don't appear in the tree layout. I've got them identified in a SQL query but can't find a way of selecting them all or deleting them one by one?

Here's a download link for the tool:

The tool described there will allow you to execute a DELETE statement using the same criteria as your SELECT statement. (But be sure to try it out on a copy of your database first.) If you want help with the delete query, just let me know.
Best,
John
