Delete words?

朗帝   July 9th, 2014 8:29a.m.

Is there a way to actually delete words? Not man them from studying but actually remove them?

The problem is: I am using Hanyu Yuedu Jiaocheng 3 to practice my reading, so I obviously added the lists for 1+2 as they are pre-made skritter lists.

However, now I found myself with vocabulary as "白马“ (white horse), "不白", "你好吗“ and so on. Naturally I ban these, because I don't need to practice them (as they are not words, but parts of speech).
But now my banned word section is getting really messy, and it makes it harder to readd words that I banned only temporarily. (Like not-mainstream city names or other words I don't think are useful RIGHT NOW. In some cases I didn't even know the word in my native language, so I guess it can't be that important. haha).

Is there any way to get rid of this "baby phrases"?

Interesting post. I would definitely like that feature. Or alternatively have a banned banned section.

I'm pretty sure if you delete the word from the list, then if it doesn't appear in any other lists, it will be deleted from 'My words' too. It won't come back unless you add it again from another list.

Can I even delete words from pre-made lists? If so, how?

That might be a problem if you already started on the list. If starting fresh, I would say "re-mix" the list to make it your own list. You could probably use the remix feature with no actual changes to make the list one that you could edit yourself, including deletions.

What Catherine said, if you delete a word from a list and it's the only instance of a word, it will delete that word from your studies until it's re-added back. You can delete words from a pr pre-made lists by remixing them as Podster recommended, then removing the desired words.

Oh, wow... Newbie here. Still trying to figure out the best way to use Skritter.

I wish I had known about this before. Seems like a "best practice" sort of thing.

Doesn't look like you can do remixing on the Android app.

So I went to the website, remixed the 4 texts I'm studying from, removed the original texts, and added my remixes. So now I'm studying 4 remixed lists.

However, it doesn't look like the Android app recognized this. I believe I'm seeing the original lists, not my remixed lists.

Does it take time for remixes to be pushed to the app?

@caffeine: The new lists should show up after logging out and logging back in. I can't remember if this was previously working but has been brought up recently.
