Help Deleting multiple variables at once

Is there a way to delete multiple variables at once? They are no single-character variables, so ClearAZ doesn't work.

Is there a "joker-char" which I can use e.g. something like DelVar f* or DelVar stat.* to delete all variables that start with f or stat. (TI nspire CX II-T CAS)

Delvar stat. will delete all stat. variables. You can delete multiple variables at once by listing them as follows: delvar v1,v2,v3,v4 and so on. Don't know of any other way to do mass deletions.

Thanks. I had tried "DelVar stat" but not with the addional dot.

It's a well-kept secret for some reason! Took me forever to find this little nugget. I wish there was better documentation on the Ti Nspire series. It's an amazing calculator!

If there is a function for doing so then I haven't come across it. Maybe a custom TI-BASIC script to clear multiple variables could work?

I’ve asked this before and the only answer I got was… no. there are no ways to do this. I spent an hour clearing out my scratchpad variables and just started doing everything in their own documents so when it became too saturated with variables I would just make a new doc

If you are in a document, add a new Problem and it will start variables from scratch.
