How to clear a binary field, the simple way

| I have seen the answers on 'How to clear binary field', but I have just a few images in a table that I want to clear: There must be a simple way of removing when viewing the table, please tell me.
Kind regards

If you want to clear a binary field when simply browsing your table,
first create an empty image. To do that, from the Command window, type
this:
f = new file();f.create("zero.gif");f.close()
That will create an empty gif file.
Then double-click on the binary field: that will load the Image viewer.
Right-click on that viewer, select the pop-up menu item "Import
image...". Select "zero.gif" and click OK. That's it.

Either delete and recreate the record without an image,
or replace the image with a zero-byte file.
Of course, that is nothing different than what was in the other threads!
