I apologize in advance for this question, however, I did not find what I was looking for in previous posts about v11 tags.
I have both V11 and V12 Step 1 and 2 tags. I understand that the V11 ones have been incorporated in some way into the V12. However, my question is that there are many notes that are tagged for BOTH V11 and V12.
Ex. #AK_Step1_v11::#Physeo::03_Physiology::06_Endocrinology::01_Introduction_to_Endocrinology AND #AK_Step1_v12::#Physeo::03_Physiology::06_Endocrinology::01_Introduction_to_Endocrinology
How do I get rid of the V11 tags without deleting the notes that are associated with V12. I have done the check database and clear unused tags. Of course when I try to delete notes tagged both V11 and V12, it removes the V12 version which I want to keep.
How can I delete all notes that are JUST tagged V11?
How can I delete all V11 tags from notes which are also tagged as V12? Surely there has to be a better way than going tag by tag and deleting the V11 tag so that the notes which are also tagged as V12 are not deleted?
you can search like this: tag:#AK_Step1_v11 -tag:#AK_Step1_v12 -tag:#AK_Step2_v12
^ the above will search for things tagged with v11 and not tagged with v12
then do another search: tag:#AK_Step2_v11 -tag:#AK_Step1_v12 -tag:#AK_Step2_v12
^ this is to also find step2 v11 cards…
to remove all v11 tags, you can select them all, then right click the v11 tag, you will get an option saying “remove tag from selected cards”…
use the above method if you want to actually delete the cards. if you just want to remove v11 tags then right click them in the browser sidebar and choose delete. that will just remove the tag and doesn’t delete any cards. also repeat for step 2 tag
Click on the step 1 V11 tag, then hold shift and click on the step 2 V11 tag. Then select all notes > go to fastbar > delete notes. If you want after this, you can unsubscribe and resubscribe to AnkiHub to make sure you didn’t delete any V12 cards (highly unlikely that you will by doing this).
Thank you! So once I do this, the notes shown will be only tagged V11 and not V12, therefore I can delete these V11 notes and no notes tagged V11 and V12 will be deleted?
Hey! So I’m having the same issue with the V11 and V12. I completely understand what to do, but I am worried about losing past history of the cards. At the moment when I select the V11 tag it has all of the cards and my V12 tag only has a few hundred. If I do as your instructions say I will end up deleting a majority of my anking deck.
