Remove leftover chart objects

Target the old indicator’s objects without clearing your whole chart.

Use MIMIFX Chart Cleanup 1.00

  1. Remove the old indicator first. Otherwise it can immediately redraw what you delete.
  2. Drag MIMIFX_Chart_Cleanup from Navigator → Scripts onto the affected chart.
  3. Keep Target=OLD_SIGNALTABLE for the recognized older SignalTable objects.
  4. Set PreviewOnly=true first to count/list matching objects without deleting them. Read the script output in MT5.
  5. If the target is correct, run again with PreviewOnly=false. The script saves a chart template before deleting; a failed backup stops cleanup.

What it removes

The default targets recognized older ST_ SignalTable object names on the current chart. It does not broadly delete all arrows, labels, drawings or objects on other charts. It checks for an attached old SignalTable and blocks cleanup while that indicator remains attached.

Exact-prefix mode

EXACT_PREFIX is for a known object-name prefix belonging to an indicator you have removed. Set ObjectPrefix to that exact prefix; at least four characters are required and wildcards are not accepted. Preview the matches before deleting. Do not guess a short prefix shared with your own drawings.

Swing Search leftovers

For duplicate TIME PATTERN panels, use the 4.14 upgrade procedure. It recognizes saved Swing Search 4.11–4.14 objects and backs up before cleanup. Advanced SignalTable and current ForecastMap also remove their own objects on detachment.

Recovery

Keep the generated template backup until you have checked the chart. Applying a template can change the chart’s attached tools and settings, so inspect it on a spare chart before restoring over your working layout.
