Having trouble deleting edges/nodes
Posted: 30 Oct 2016 23:41
Hello all,
I am working with several extremely large data sets numbering between 150,000 and 250,000 edges. For my current project, I need to pare these down into smaller groups (e.g. 15,000 edges per data file). I collected this data using the "Twitter Streaming Importer" in Gephi 0.9.1. I am using a Mac with OS 10.11.6, 16GB RAM, and all the latest Java updates.
I figured the easiest way to do this was to make a copy of the parent data file (e.g. the one with 150,000 edges), open that file, and delete the unwanted edges (e.g. 15,001-150,000) to get my smaller sets. I would like to repeat this process for every 15,000 edges.
The problem I am running into is when I highlight the edges I want to delete and right-click on "Delete all edges with nodes..." When I select this option, it only deletes about 100 edges (leaving a staggering 149,900 that remain highlighted). The same happens when I try "Delete All".
Am I missing something? Is there a way to delete these unwanted edges? I have tried exporting to a .csv file to do this with Excel, but it results in a 9.0 GB file that Excel won't open.
Thank you in advance!
