As far as I know you can't delete caches from the unit - either individual caches or all caches in a gpx. You'd have to do that from the computer.

 

Using the computer you can (I think) delete individual or multiple caches with Basecamp. You can delete gpx files using whichever file manager you choose.

 

I ran into a problem when I deleted a gpx file from the unit using Windows Explorer, copied one across with the same name and found that the unit wouldn't list any caches at all, which was frustrating as I was away for a couple of days. Since then I delete the gpx file, disconnect the unit and switch it on, wait for it to start up and recognise that the gpx has gone, connect to computer and copy the new file across.

I've only used it with Windows XP so can't say for other systems.

 

Whilst I'm out caching I always log attempts and mark found caches so that they no longer appear in the search.
