    Trackable

    I sorta agree with kunarion.

    To completely remove the trackables you own would interfere with anyone who had an action log on that trackable. 

     Think of it similar to a Geocache... 

     - You want to be able to remove it completely, which in turn affects every person who ever logged it as a find.

     

    To simply remove it from inventory (your original question) you mark it missing.

    To remove it completely from your owned trackables, you have to adopt that code out to another (since you say you no longer have the trackable itself).

    You might consider creating a separate, basic account, and adopt those trackables to it.   I don't feel it's worth the trouble.

     

    Not sure it's even possible, but Groundspeak ("Contact Us" on most pages - even this thread)  might be able to do that.  You'd probably have the same question, "Do you really want to delete the logs and records of other cachers?"  by them too.

    OK Im probably not being clear here.

     

    I own several trackables, most are still on the move, some have vanished and have been missing for 2 years i want to delete then from my list of trackables I own . the input I have had so far doesn't tell me how to do that. Any help with detailed step by step instruction would be most appreciated.

    Caches don't get deleted from the system. They will stay in the system. Caches can get archived though. That's when it's removed from play. You really should know about the guidlines and log types (including archiving a cache) before you place a cache.

     

    Yes, I guess that would be helpful Ah :unsure:

    Maybe. If there were land manager permission problems or problems with the neighbours, then no - better not to (or not allowed to) put one there.

     

    If it's a spot that caches regularly go missing, it'd be unwise to put a new one there.

     

    But if you can get land manager permission, the neighbours are not hostile, and you're willing for your cache to disappear like the previous one, then yes - you're allowed to put a new cache there, assuming no one else has done so already. :)

     

    Thanks. I think the issue was that the Cache had been there 9 years, the original tin container had rusted out and the Geocacher had moved on, its a great location alongside the Red Deer River in Alberta.

    A few months ago we looked for a Cache that had clearly been removed, we notice several weeks later that the Cache had been deleted from the system. Are we ok to place a new Cache in the same location

    Thanks guys, good advice. As has been said before the game only works when everyone plays by the rules.

     

    The other thing we have noticed is there is no point dropping a Trackable in an infrequently visited Cache. A month ago we visited a cache at Gap Lake, it had 2 Trackable which we didn't take and a month later they are still there, we plan on revisiting the Cache picking up the Trackable and dropping it in a more popular location.
