remove built in caches in a 64?

[+DukeOfURL01]

So I just got a Garmin 64s and it came with a ton of geocaches built in, but my question is how do I delete those?  There doesn't seem to be a corresponding .gpx file in that directory on the device.

Delete the .GGZ file in the garmin/ggz directory.

IS there a way to delete just the ones you have found or ones you do not want in there anymore? I am going to be purchasing a Garmin 64s soon and was wondering.

When you find them, they will not normally show up.  Deleting them is complicated.  You would need to get the whole file into GSAK and export it again.  This would be quite time consuming.  The data is all very out of date, so is of little use.

You're probably better off deleting all of the ones that come pre-loaded on the device. The data for those caches will be out-of-date. The device may include caches that have since been archived or that have a lot of DNF logs, may not include caches that have been recently published, or may include caches that are not in your geographic area. You could delete all of the pre-loaded caches, then reload just the ones you're interested in.

That being said. Since you are a Basic member, then it may be a bit onerous to load a large number of caches at once, so you may want to take a look at what caches are loaded on the device before deciding to delete them all. As Red90 mentioned, you can filter out the ones you have Found from within the GPSr. With a Premium membership, there are more options for downloading/transferring caches en masse. See HERE.

Thanks for the reply's I will probably just delete the whole file and start over with what I want.
