Detaching attachements to free up disk space

Ace006

I did not realize that saving an item to my library could involve merely a link to the URL. The Zotero default apparently was to attach a snapshot and, consequently, I saved many items along with a snapshot of the page. This is not necessary for my purposes and has resulted in my library's taking up a lot of space on my hard drive.

Is there an easy way just to detach the snapshot without deleting the entire item and re-entering the tags assigned to it initially, please?

I would like to be able delete all snapshots at once.

Advanced Search:
Atachment File Type - is - Webpage
--> Create Saved Search
In the saved search:
-->select all.
(Note that only the attachments will be highlighted, else you're doing something wrong.)
right click --> delete selected items from library.

Thank you, Mr. Smith. That was exactly what I wanted and my tags were indeed preserved.

I appreciate your help very much.
