Sorry for the double post. The method you suggested works while I'm still on the Fm Sel screen, but as soon as I exit the screen (even if it's to play an FM), as soon as I reopen TMA & the Fm Sel screen appears again, all the FMs I deleted are back again. Is my Fm Sel broken?

Uninstall the FM (right click, don't backup saves/screenshots) then close FMSel down. Remove the zip file from the designated folder. Now open up FMSel again and it should be gone.

Have they changed the set up then? I obviously haven't been paying attention. Just deleting the zip is a lot less faff.

Deleting the zip won't remove it from the list if it installed.

I understand that. It used to be the case that deleting the uninstalled mission zip didn't remove it from the list. Now it does.
You can keep your saves if you want to though and just delete the mission file itself. The FMSel.bak doesn't show in the list.

Thanks kids. I'll give it another try.

Well, that didn't work. I cut all the FMs from the file that FM Sel gets the FMs from and pasted them to a different file, then went back to the FM Sel screen & did the 'ctrl-del' thing, then exited out of FM Sel. When I reopened (by clicking on the TMA shortcut on my desktop), all the FMs I'd just deleted were listed again. I guess it's really no big thing, but it's kind of aggravating for me to have the list so cluttered.

I may, probably, have confused things: You no longer need to use ctrl+right click. Just to be clear: 1. You right click on each mission and select uninstall. 2. You delete the fms from the fm folder. At this point, they should no longer be listed but they still are?
If all else fails, you could create a new folder and path somewhere else.

Yes nickie, that's exactly what I was doing. However, I'll give your suggestion of creating a new folder a try.
