Hi All when installing Endnote 20 a couple of months back I rather exuberantly, said “install all” for output styles of which I seem to have 2769. Of which, 2700 (at least) are superfluous. I can’t find any way to delete output styles.
I assume it can be done, but I can’t find how. Does anyone know how to do it? Preferably in groups or blocks of them, I don’t want to have to delete 2700 individually!
It is very simple! Just in case you want to keep them, rename that Styles folder to “All Styles ex EN” or similar – EN will not see it then. Create a new folder named Styles, and drag (or option-drag, or alt-drag) the styles you want to use into that Folder – you are right, I have only 20-30 in there and it is MUCH easier to navigate. B.t.w. some styles need minor editing. For example, the styles for superscripted in-text citations often have a space after the comma between 2 or more citations – no journal does this, so I edit the style and add a 2-letter code to the style-name so that I know I have edited this one! Hope this helps!

Thanks for that. For some reason, I was hoping that I had missed a delete button in the output styles manager.
Good advice re backing up the styles before deleting.
QUESTION: WHY isn’t there a delete button on the output style manager?
