Deleting items from savegame

Excuse my ignorance in case my answer is already covered in some of the topics below, but I selfishly find it easier to just ask instead of browsing throught pages of various stuff
I'd like to delete some useless items from my current savegame. So I launched DMute only to realize it isn't possible. I can see the icons of the items on the map, when mousing over them I can see the list, but there's no way to delete anything... Am I doing anything wrong or do I need another utility? - if yes, can you recommend please?

Use the delete' key I believe. Or 'd'. The key shortcuts are in the .txt file I believe.

Well, I would, but when I click on the icon, the screen blinks white and nothing happens. Is something wrong?

Ah after reading the .txt it seems I ONLY can turn items into something else!

Of course, DMUte only mutates, it does not alter the database size by deleting items
If you must get rid of items, what you can do is go into hex editing mode on the tile and remove the two hex bytes top right (I believe). Those are the links to the item list (items on a tile are stored in a linked list, item to next item). Replace with FF FF and the tile will be blanked, and the items will be floating around in the ether!

And I'm getting forgetful too, it would have been FE FE to quickly blank a tile!
It's been so long since I DMuted I've forgotten what it can and can't do!

The limits are applied to each level individually? I deleted all the crap lying around, but did I help anything at all?
It also seems like stuff I already picked up shows up onthe map, which I do not understand.

It's a global limit
Things you picked up should be in your inventory alone where you can mutated them) but shouldn't also be in the dungeon unless you are using an older saved game
Infact, are you sure you are editng the dmsave.dat (or something similar) saved game and not the original dungeon.dat file?

Yes I am. Well, since it works I guess it's ok.
