I'm no longer using TS4, but I do recall that there is a faster way to
delete everything with the bad date.  Somewhere in one of the menus there is
a way to delete ALL data for a specified date.

I just checked - in the Server, click the "file" item and the the "delete
..." item.  This will give you a dialog box in which you can specify the
symbols and dates to delete.
