As long as you are sure the information is not needed then… Go to View > Master Lists > Event Definition
Scroll to the Attribute event and highlight it. Over on the right click Options > Delete. That will globally delete this event.

I imported a Gedcom file created years ago from a Roots3 (or Roots4?) database that I helped my mom create. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this import worked. The relationships are fine; all I have to do is clean up some of the location, date, and some other fields. However I soon noticed that about 20% of the individuals had an event field titled “Attribute” and the data within the event consisting of only the word “attribute”. I don’t know where this field came from; I never created it. I can see it might occasionally be useful, but in that case one could just add it. For most individuals this seems like it is just cluttering up the database and I would like to eliminate it. I haven’t figured out how. I can’t delete an event title for events containing data. I can’t combine the event with the “blank” event without just getting a blank event with the data “attribute”! I hope I don’t have to edit over 100 individuals one at a time to remove the “attribute” data. I’m hoping you experts can point me to the easy solution which I have missed. Thanks in advance.
