don't know how to remove geocaches from my GPSmap62s

Got this unit to replace my 60CSX and contrary to it I can't delete as I go or mark as found.

I need to keep a paper with me to note the caches found.... :( 

Is there a way to mark them as found so I won't do them twice and delete them after I logged them?

Thanks

When you "find them", they change status to found and show with a different icon and not normally be visible in searches and on the map.  A list is also created on the GPS with the find, notes and dates.  Are you not logging them as found on the GPS?

Red90, I was having problems loading them Garmin express not recognizing my GPS so all the caches I loaded manually I couldn't log them as found on the GPS. With all the Garmin express updates, I can now make a list and upload them into GPS and mark them as found.

I still have all those unopened chests lingering into my unit

OK guys found it:

connect to your computer > access the Garmin as a drive > locate the Garmin\GPX\file > delete those cache (.GPX or .LOC) files within.

Thanks to all who replied

Pocket queries are also your friend. You can create a PQ to exclude your finds, and every time you re-run it, you can simply  download and overwrite the file on your 62s and... voila - your finds are now off the device.

But pocket queries are your friend for other reasons as well. There is a limit to the number of GPX files you can have on the device at any one time. PQs let you consolidate geocaches into fewer files - up to 1000 geocaches in one file.
