Deleting over repetitions in TM

Question

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?

 This doesn't sound right at all. True duplicates are normally not even added to a Studio TM. Can you show a screen shot of the repeated dates?

 This is expected. The update process extracts fragments from your TM and adds them for use with the UpLift process. How much larger really depends on the size and content of your TM so it won't be the same for everyone. But 700Mb to 2Gigs sounds fairly normal to me for this process. 
 However, the multiple dates isn't normal at all! You could try this: 
 
 Export to TMX 
 Create a new SDLTM 
 Import the TMX 
 
 If the dates are recognised as dates, or as duplicates then they should be stripped out leaving only one. If that doesn't happen would you be able to share your TMX file with me as I'd like to look at this and make sure development can see it? You can send it to pfilkin@sdl.com if this is ok?

 First of all thank you 
 I tried your suggestion and Voil&aacute;!!! 
 The memory is now back almost at the same size (700 MB) and running smoothly as before - I am now deleting the regular repeats. 
 Thanks again
