I appreciate your responsiveness! I was only syncing on the device I was deleting with, then after all the deleting, opening the app on another one and finding it was determined to re-insert the deleted entries.
The file size is no issue at all unless I want to make a PDF or Word document copy as backup. Huge file size that's difficult to even load. I've got hundreds of Wordle screenshots, along with other similar things that I really have no use for.
