Abhijit,
There is no easy way I know of. Even if you could edit the symbol
list file the data will still be in the PDS folder. It is all lumped
together. If I was going to do it I would sort them by symbol and
match them with your list of keepers and just delete them on the
weekend. Make the backup of the Server folder then have at it. Or
export them all then if you make only one small mistake import that
one back in. Hard work. Been there.
