[KM] DELETE List of KM Variables [SUB-MACRO]

Macro Library
,
16

Bingo! You hit the nail on the head!
####Effective Immediately -- Quit Using the Macro at the top of this topic.

This seems like a bug in KM to me, because the sub-macro is reporting the Trigger of the main, calling Macro, instead of the Trigger for itself.

IAC, I now have a better method of cleanup that uses a script to accomplish the same thing.

Please see if this will work for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
