+===== Event Delete =====
+==== Overview ====
+The **Event_Delete** command is used to remove an existing event from a dataset based on specified conditions. This command allows users to delete all instances of an event, target specific occurrences, or limit deletions within a defined event sequence while optionally excluding specific events. Users can also delete events based on a time reference.
+This command is particularly useful for refining datasets by removing redundant, incorrectly placed, or unnecessary events, ensuring accuracy i n biomechanical event analysis.
+The functionality of this command can also be achieved by right-clicking on an event in the data tree, **Delete Event** us an option on the context menu. The interactive selection from the data tree can be shown here:

+==== Pipeline Command ====
+The command below is as seen in the Visual3D application.
+<code>
+Event_Delete
+/EVENT_NAME=
+! /EVENT_SEQUENCE=
+! /EXCLUDE_EVENTS=
+! /EVENT_INSTANCE=
+! /TIME=
+;
+</code>
+==== Command Parameters ====
+The following table shows the command parameters and descriptions:
+|**Parameter**       |**Description**     |
+|**/EVENT_NAME**|The name of the event to be deleted.|
+|**!/EVENT_SEQUENCE**|Specifies a sequence of events within deletion occurs. Only events within this sequence will be considered for deletion.|
+|**!/EXCLUDE_EVENTS=**|Defines events that should not be deleted within the specified sequence.|
+|**!/EVENT_INSTANCE=**|Specifies which instance of the event should be deleted. A value of 0 deletes all occurrences, while positive or negative numbers select specific instances.|
+|**!/TIME**|Deletes events that occur at a specific time.|
+==== Dialog ====
+Due to the simplicity of this command and the interactive selection option, this command does not display a dialog box when clicked, instead parameters can be edited within the text editor.
+==== Examples ====
+The following examples will go through the use of the **Event_Delete** command in the Visual3D application.
+=== Example 1: Deleting All Instances of an Event ===
+The first example shows the process of removing the "OFF" and "ON" events for each foot during a gait cycle, which leaves only HS (heel strike) and TO (toe off) events, determined by the Automatic_Gait_Events command.
+After running the Automatic_Gait_Events command as shown below, the EVENT_LABEL folder will be created housing all of the events:
+<code>
+Automatic_Gait_Events
+! /FRAME_WINDOW=8
+! /USE_TPR=TRUE
+! /TPR_EVENT_INSTANCE=1
+;
+</code>
+{{:visual3d:documentation:pipeline:event_commands:events_list.png?200|}}
+Then, we can use the **For_Each** command to iterate through each of the events we want to delete, and the **Event_Delete** command to actually delete.
+<code>
+For_Each
+/ITERATION_PARAMETER_NAME=EVENT
+! /ITERATION_PARAMETER_COUNT_NAME=
+/ITEMS=LON+LOFF+RON+ROFF
+;
+Event_Delete
+/EVENT_NAME=::EVENT
+! /EVENT_SEQUENCE=
+! /EXCLUDE_EVENTS=
+! /EVENT_INSTANCE=
+! /TIME=
+;
+End_For_Each
+/ITERATION_PARAMETER_NAME=EVENT
+;
+</code>
+{{:visual3d:documentation:pipeline:event_commands:events_list_updated.png?300|}}
+=== Example 2: Deleting a Specific Instance of an Event ===
+In this example, imagine analyzing a gait cycle where a participant takes two steps with their right foot and then two steps with their left foot.
+If primarily interested in analyzing the first step taken with each foot, in this situation, only the second instance of toe-off for each foot should be deleted.
+<code>
+Event_Delete
+/EVENT_NAME=LTO
+! /EVENT_SEQUENCE=
+! /EXCLUDE_EVENTS=
+/EVENT_INSTANCE=2
+! /TIME=
+;
+Event_Delete
+/EVENT_NAME=RTO
+! /EVENT_SEQUENCE=
+! /EXCLUDE_EVENTS=
+/EVENT_INSTANCE=2
+! /TIME=
+;
+</code>
