 As Sid points 
out, AB gets them from QP when you run a manual retrieve.  
I believe 
that the problem is soluble from AB's end without resorting to checking each symbol's 
file size before retrieving its data, and that 
the appropriate query will make use of the fact that bad 
symbols lack assignment to both sector and industry.

  Hi Ira, 
  I have been fighting this 
  problem for over a week now. I have done EVERYTHING I can think of, except 
  moving AB and everything associated with it to another drive. 
  I have 
  had an on-going conversation with Marcin, in Support,   ([#19483] 
  Deletion of old DB Tickers),  without any resolution. 
  I have hand 
  deleted over 1000 tickers from AmiBroker (Symbol / Delete) to remove them from 
  the Workspace window, started a brand new Database Folder,  searched for 
  additional files where the old data may have been stored, Re-established the 
  data base, checked it manually to make sure the excess tickers were NOT in the 
  new database -- & I'll be da-n-d if they did not re-appear again.  
  And Again, and Again!!
  I have asked Marcin to inform me where else 
  these tickers might be hiding (like in the program somewhere), but I have had 
  no response in the past two days (weekend probably).
  Lets keep in 
  touch, for if you have the disease I have, you've got a battle ahead of you. 
  
  If anyone reading this, have ANY thoughts on how to correct this 
  problem, please contact Ira or myself. I'm becoming convinced that the Tickers 
  reside somewhere within AB, but I have no idea as to how to go about locating 
  just where. They act as though they are coded within AmiBroker 
  somewhere.
  Best Regards, and GOOD LUCK!!

  Using QP3, I have a 
    lot of stock symbols that have no data!.   These same symbols are not found when I use QP charting 
    program, so I assume they are simply kept in AB database from some time 
    ago...   I tried to update data 
    base by: File-Database Settings-Configure-Retreive, which I beleive should 
    have cleaned up old symbols.   Nothing changed!. Do I need to clean it up 
    manually?   Thanks   Ara
