[Koha] How to clean Koha imported records?

[Jerwyn Fernandez]

Hi Layale,

There are a lot of ways you can delete your records in KOHA, what Fischer
just told you is one option.

You may also delete your records manually by generating this SQL script to
be run in "Create report from SQL"

*SELECT  items.itemnumber,items.barcode,biblio.title,items.itemcallnumber
FROM items LEFT JOIN biblioitems on
(items.biblioitemnumber=biblioitems.biblioitemnumber) LEFT JOIN biblio on
(biblioitems.biblionumber=biblio.biblionumber)  ORDER BY items.itemnumber
asc*

When you were able to generate the report, go to Batch Item Deletion and
paste the "*barcode" *of your item or from a blank sheet with the
itemnumber of your record you can delete it as well.

Regards,

- Jerwyn
