I was wondering if there is a way to, say, delete all track points I have in a .trk file. I'd like to duplicate a .trk file, delete the existing points, and continue adding additional points.
With this I'm facing two issues: 1) it takes a lot of effort to delete them one by one; 2) software often hangs after I delete all the points and try to add a new one, so I have to kill Java process (on Windows 10).
Not a big deal, just asking if there is a way around this. I love the software very much and quite enjoy using it - thanks!

There are a couple ways to delete all track points. For a single point mass you can choose Clear Steps from its track menu to clear all marked steps or Delete to delete the entire track. You can choose Edit|Delete|All tracks or one track at a time. You can right-drag a rectangle on the video and choose Select Points from the popup menu, then hit the delete key to delete all selected points. You can undo any of these actions, too.
