I mistakenly added some people I shouldn't have so I would like to delete them or just delete the whole file. How can I delete my GEDCOM file?

    Hi @Barbara Way. You can't edit, but you can delete the file and replace it.. Instructions are: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Pedigree_Resource_File

    Hope this helps.

    @Barbara Way Just to clarify a couple of points I'll mention that Áine is correct, you cannot edit a PRF. You can only delete it. But you can no longer replace it. The function of uploading a GEDCOM to create a PRF has been removed.

    Uploading a GECCOM now creates a CET. See: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/the-new-gedcom-upload-experience

    Two major differences between PRFs and CETs is that you can edit CETs and that while you could transfer information from a PRF you uploaded into Family Tree, you cannot at this point use a CET for such a transfer.

    There are a number of Help Center articles about the PRF that need major revisions.
