Delete data from file geodatabase?

Is it possible to delete data from an ESRI file geodatabase using Global Mapper?  We can create and add data, but can't see anything obvious for deletion.

    Just to qualify that - asking whether its possible to delete a layer from the gdb itself.

    Hello,

    Global Mapper does not have a command to delete a layer from a geodatabase. Is this something you need to do frequently? 

    Cheers,
    Bob

    Hi Bob

    That would be a useful function to have.  Not my personal favourite for exchanging data, but the company I work for does lots of business with organisations that use them.  While the same thing can be achieved by re-exporting and overwriting, having the ability to edit and delete geodatabase layers from within Global Mapper would be great.  As would the ability to set the halo colour for labels.

    Thanks, Sean

    Hello Sean,

    I have opened feature request GM-12167 to implement an interface for deleting tables from a database.

    Cheers,
    Bob
