    how to remove keywords from a "Mother keyword"

    how to remove keywords from a "Mother keyword"

    Hello all. For what ever reason, I must have pressed by accident "put all new keywords inside ...." instead of "delete"!!!! Now I am sitting with nearly 1000 pictures and keywords inside a keyword where they should not be. If I try to delete the "top" keyword, it warns me that "It contains...
