Hi there,
I have about 500 references in one folder and 1000 in my endnote library altogether. I would like to delete all the references that are not in that one folder. Can someone suggest a way to do that?

In X3, there is a “group”- call “unfiled” and if they don’t live in other groups, you could select this directly and delete them. I believe there is a plug-in for X2 that can also show records that don’t belong to a group. See this thread.
As an alternative, especially if there are other groups, but you don’t want to go thru the hassle of removing them from those groups:
Go to the folder, select all, then under references, show all. The selected references should remain selected, under references, hide selected, select all - delete.
ADDED IN EDIT: Make sure you make a copy first, or ensure you have done what you expected before closing and losing the “trash” items.
