# Deleting data from a specific import

MetaLocator tracks the filename from which each record originated and you can search by that field to help isolate and delete a bad import.  To search for a specific source file, go to "Data > All Records".  Then, expand the Search & Select control as shown here:

Notice that in the above screenshot, we selected a specific Source File.  Once you have identified the source file you would like to isolate, choose it from the drop-down and click **Create Selection.** Once a selection is created, the Search & Select box will show "N records selected." to indicate that not all records are shown and a green message will indicate that there are records selected.

Once you have selected the offending records, choose an operation from the **Bulk Actions** drop-down in the upper right.  A common strategy would be to choose **Delete** to remove the records.  Once you have removed the records you will want to clear the search filter (so you can see the rest of your data)  by clicking **Clear** as shown here:
