Is there a way to delete all of my child profiles in one big swoop. I messed up and refreshed my entire collection with the child profile option selected. It would have been fine if they didn't mess with my collection number, but now it says I have about 300 more entries in my collection than I want it to. Also, I flipped through some of the tv shows that have child entries and they are lame; they have each disc listed with the same exact information. I could see if each disc had unique info, but how it is organized now is just dumb. Plus, there is the same cover art for each disc, however, it is a unique file. Dumb.

(Filter and) Flag them with the space bar then go to Collection -> Flagged -> Remove Flagged Profiles

If you backed up your collection previous to this,, you may refresh your library the way it was yesterday..  You may also be able to sort to last edit and delete the ones you don't want.. But it sounds like your library was refreshed and therefore no 'extra' edited titles to remove..

If it's just the collection total that you are worried about, you can also Flag them, and collectively set them to "Count as 0".

That's only possible (AFAIK) if you have a tag for them. Otherwise you just have to flag them manually. But with the right technique (mouse opens box set, selects first child, spacebar flags all child profiles) this doesn't take that long.

You could also use Mark's great Database Query plugin:
short tutorial (for a similar task, but also filtering child profiles).

It's useful for so many things, you'll love it!

How do you do this? I had an issue where I was missing collection numbers, so I reassigned numbers to my entire collection, but now I have some child profiles and "trilogy box set" parent sets marked with a collection number.  I have all the titles flagged, but don't know how to set them to "count as 0"

My mistake. I must have somehow expected this under (or analogous to) the Set Exclusions group, but it is isn't.
