Deleting caches

Due to ill health I haven't done so much caching for a while. Today I tried to delete some old caches from my gps using basecamp. The thing is when I click on internal storage  it says  'this filter is empty'. I know they are in the gps because I can see them. 

I'm thinking that as its been a while since I've done this that I'm maybe missing something or maybe it's not the way to remove caches. If so, can you tell what I'm doing wrong?

Open Windows Explorer (Mac: Finder)

Navigate to your gpsr.

Navigate to \Gamin\GPX. Delete all gpx files, leave the subdirectories.

Navigate to \Gamin\GGZ. Delete all ggz files.

If you youse a Mac: empty the trash bin.

 

If you have a SD card installed, do the same there.

Thank you StefandD, that worked much better than basecamp. Which leads me to ask, Does basecamp not work anymore?

Anyway, thanks again.

BaseCamp can delete caches in GPX files, but it cannot delete caches in GGZ files. That's by design because GGZ files can contain millions of caches.

Thanks JaVaWa but why didn't my caches show in internal storage as it always did? As I say its been a while since I've used it.

I missed that before... You have set a filter (on the bottom left of the BaseCamp window) and selected a category of items that aren't on your GPS.

Select the proper filter category or close the filter option (click on the icon with a funnel).
