Over time, the drop-down lists for just about every field entry window in mp3tag have cluttered up with all the "remembered" strings I've used. Every custom format, every one-off label...even the typos...is saved in there. ☹
Some of these are useful, as they reflect the conventions I've developed for various operations. But I'd really like to clean up all the extra clutter. Is there a way to edit those drop-down lists? I'd like to clean them up without completely reverting back to the default set of options and losing _all_ my customized strings.

Select the superfluous entry and press Shift-Del

Thank you. It's a little slow and tedious, but it works! 🙂
