When you have Google Earth up and running, (As I am sure most of you know) the section in the Sidebar called "Places" is up. In my places, I have close to 400 place marks in it. It is getting to be a real pain, and I am wondering if anyone knows a way to clean all of it up without deleting any of my place markers.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thank you in advance!

It is a good idea to have them safely safed on your harddrive. I have each subject/folder as a separate file. When I need any of them, I load it via NetworkLinks, closed and without refreshing. In this way, GE is faster and practical than ever.
You are lucky that you did not lose them in a possible crash.

Hi JT,
I lost a lot of airport searches a while back due to my PC carrying out an automatic windows update,but was given advice on how to find them if the same thing happened again.It can be found here, I was also advised to turn of the auto update and set it to ask permission to update as well as being given more sound advice about not only saving to my hard drive but also saving more important things to disc.It seems many people have lost things in the pasts one way or another so it makes sense to back things up. Imaging loosing your collections....no don't.All that hard work.
All the best

Save everything out as Folders.. Save each Folder of Placemarks under the Folder name... Don't save the Full My Places file as if that becomes corrupted you loose it all. (You may get it back using the Backup file)
If you have external Drives copy them all to there as well.. Maybe once a week burn everything to CD or Disc...
It pays to keep your GE My Places trimmed down to bare essentials and only load in what you are working on at the time.. And when you re-save it save it with a different folder name. Like..... 'Places I don't want lost" make your Alterations then save as Places I don't want Lost - a" then change the A to B next save and so on.. That way you will always have at least 1 Good recent save.
I have 2 External drives and all my Working data is copied to them as well.
Trust this helps 
EDIT...Note to self.. Norm, read everyone elses reply fully before replying - it save time.

In addition to what everyone else has said, here's an advice thread on Managing your GE Data which is very useful:
