Deleting over repetitions in TM

I found my TM became so large after optimization, and after checking for repeated segments I found a date repeated hundred of times - possibly thousands - is there a way to delete all at once?

  • It will happen by default if you have segments in there containing this information. For example, this page does:

    Same TM and this page doesn't:

    I can't really tell you any more than that!  To be honest I've never even noticed this before.  It's not a great deal of use in here as you can only see the DSI in the column.  You can't open it and find more useful information in there.  I'm also not sure what information will be displayed if you were to try and insert some custom stuff into a TU being added to the TM.  I'd hazard a guess not everything because only some things get used to disambiguate multiple Context Matches for example.  Word files are normally good for this, but custom XML not good at all... so I think there is really no rhyme or reason for it I'm afraid.

    If it's really important to understand this then might have a good answer to your question?
