I revise one of my watchlists every week. I would like to just delete the existing symbols and replace them new ones. The only way I have found to accomplish this task is by deleting the current watchlist and re-creating it (same name but new symbols). This action creates a new watchlist identifying number each week. The watchlist identifying numbers are therefore growing every week while the total number of watchlists remains the same.

Is there a better way to accomplish what I am doing?

click the WATCHLIST tab
click the nickname of the watchlist that you want to clear the stocks from
when the list of stocks opens, click the box next to SYMBOL in the top left of the array header
click the DELETE CHECKED button above the header

And after you have deleted all of the symbols in your watchlist you can add the new ones either by typing them in the box next to add symbols, or run a filter and put checkmarks next to the ones you want to add, or you can add them from a text file

Thankyou, but is there a way to check all at once? It appears that I need to individually check each symbol and there are over 100.

Oh, I now see that I can accomplish what I want by viewing in Table mode. Thanks!
