Delete should "do the trick". Can you be specific about how that's not working?

Not sure how to be more specific. There are two ways specified to delete:
- use Delete key. Nothing happens. Nada. - use Gear icon option to Delete. Again nothing happens. In all cases I've selected a perspective first: so there's "something" to delete. A confounding issue is that for some perspectives (see attached image in previous post) I may have upwards to 20 versions of a single perspective. Not sure at all how that happened!

In other words, these are not custom perspectives but unexpected duplicates of the built-in perspectives. Experimentally, I think you'll find that it's not possible to create deletable (i.e. custom) perspectives with those names.

Two days later and I haven't heard back from help yet. I realize I may not hear from them for a few days, but so far no solution.

I'm sure they're busy after the two recent launches, but given the appearance of data corruption, I think you should phone them directly if you can.

I am having the same issue - many copies of Default perspectives I can not delete. Delete key does not work, no delete option in gear.
I can create, then delete a new perspective. FYI I was previously on OF2 Beta, not sure if that is a possible impact.

mpretka: as noted above, please contact omnifocus@omnigroup.com so that our Support Humans can coach you through cleaning up your database.

Did some more research. This was an issue specific to syncing OmniFocus 2 with the German (and possibly other non-English translations of the app) iPhone app. The issue was corrected in June, but that doesn't clean up the database. It sounds like you've already contacted Support, who are best equipped to help clean up the scrambled perspectives.
