I created a few bogus topics for playing around with the advanced concept filter. Now I want to delete them but I can't figure out how.

I intended to make a topic delete but didn't. Here is the default "filters.dat" file. Just replace the current.

filters.zip
I tried that in both C:\Program Files (x86)\Bible Analyzer 5\ and C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Bible Analyzer
I exited BA and put the original .dat file in both folders. After launching BA I still see my bogus topics.
Is there someplace else I should be looking?
BTW . is a "delete topic" button going to be added in future?

It should be the Appdata folder. Sometimes Windows runs from a copy. Just delete the filke there and let Bible Analyzer put a copy a new one there on next start.

Using Everything file manager, I deleted every filter.dat on my system. The BA would not launch. Using Recycle Bin, I restored them and deleted all except 1 in the BA program folder.
After launching, I still have my bogus topics.
I tried deleting all items in a bogus topic and saving but BA would not let me save a topic with no items. Is it possible to put some code at that point that asks if you want to delete the topic?

Yes, it needs a delete feature.
The file is a simple sqlite db and can be edited with any sqlite editor.

Thanks for this information. I don't think I have enough remaining gray cells to make it thru the learning curve to edit SQL files.
Until there is delete functionality in BA, I'll just live with the bogus stuff I have created.

Well...yesterday I added a delete feature for the upcoming version. When there are no entries, on Save in the ACF Bible Analyzer asks if the user wants to delete the topic.
