Hi,

I have a problem with deleting columns in one of the networks in Cytoscape file.

Formerly the session file was big, with huge network from which I separated few small.
I also used Dynet app to compare the networks and this generated new columns.
Then I deleted majority of networks to create smaller file, which I assumed would be smaller on disk and will be loading faster (what wasn't the case but this is unresolved question).

So now I have six networks from which I want to delete some table columns to export whole file to html.
For one of the networks there are columns which are un-deletable. It is the case for a subset from other network in which I succeeded in deleting columns.
More curiously (and annoying) the unwanted coulmns (reamins from DYnet analysis) shows (and are un-deletable) after recreating the network from original one (which doesn't have this columns).

I thought that I could hide unwanted columns and in html-exported file they doesn't show but it does.

I'd be very grateful for help.


Ok, so I managed to do what I needed.

Maybe for someone it would be useful.

In short:

 1. I unpacked the `cys` file and renamed to `zip`
 2. In `tables` subdirectory I searched files with instances of "DAP" (the part of a columns' name, which I wanted to delete) and writeit to file `grep -rl 'DAP' > x `
 3. I used `xargs` to delete files with 'DAP' hits `xargs -I{} rm -r {} < ~/x`

The file is still huge (and in the zip there are many not needed remains of deleted networks) but the troublesome colums disappeared.
