If found out that inside my basestation.ini file are a lot of old Outlines / Waypoints that i'm not using any more. When i open it in a notepad program i can see a lot with =0 behind them.
Can i delete the lines with the outlines / waypoints that im not using anymore?

Yes you can. You may also want to remove them from the Outlines and Waypoints folders too. The BaseStation Settings -> Display Settings -> Data Files shows all the files in the these folders.
The BaseStation.ini file includes all outlines and waypoints that have been in the Outlines and Waypoints folders, even if you subsequently remove them.
Make a backup copy of the ini file.

So when i make a list with outlines / waypoints im using now, can i also make im in the same order as they are in the outline & waypoint folder? Will this load my startup for basestation quicker? At this moment im walking true the ini file and deleting all the subsequently removed files. I think it will shorten the outlines & waypoints list in my ini file with more then 150 lines inside the ini file.

I have copy past the total list of outlines & waypoints in a new notepad file and in this file im looking for old lines and make them in the same order as they are in the folders (order by name).
If i done that can i then simply copy -> past it back in the ini file replacing the list that is inside the INI file?
Thanks for the support Anmer
Outline and Waypoint files (in their respective folders) are "read" into the Basestation.ini file when BaseStation is launched. If you remove these files from their folders, the ini file isn't updated.
The files listed in Display Settings -> Data Files are those saved in the Outlines and Waypoints folders and are displayed in alphabetical order.
If an outline or waypoint is in the ini file but without a corresponding file in the relevant folder, these won't appear in the Data Files list and can't be displayed.
Take a backup copy of your ini file. Remove all the Outlines and Waypoints from the original ini file. Restart BaseStation. The ini file should now include only the outlines and waypoints in the folders.
I think :)
Anmer,
I did what you say, maked a back up of the basestation.ini file, closed BS. Then open the ini file in a notepad editor and remove the total list of outlines / waypoints.
Then restart BS, it starts up correct, also all the outlines & waypoints are showing.
When im opening the basestaion.ini file there are not 1 of the outlines / waypoints in the column [DataFiles].
Is this correct or did i do something wrong?

Did you Save the ini file after you made the changes and before you launched Basestation?

Yes i did, in there in DATAFILES there is a list of new and older outlines, but in the ini when removing the list of datafiles and reboot basestations the list stay empty
Thanks.

Mayeb my question was not correct, but i want to remove the not in use any more outlines & waypoints that are in the DATAFILES list, i did a re-order of all my outlines and waypoints and put it in the ini so it is now only showing the ones i have in use add this moment.
Please follow my previous advice.
Remove the unwanted .out and .wpt files from their respective Outlines and Waypoint folders.
The INI is showing outlines i have be using in the past, the list is almost +500 lines big, i just did a re-order and clean out my ini file with the ones that have =0 behind, so now my Basestation is loading a bit quicker.

The clean-up is in two parts.
1. Remove unwanted files from the folders
2. Delete unwanted entries from the ini file
Then restart BaseStation. Now the Data Files list should not show the files you removed from the folders and the ini file should not list them either.
