# Delete Every Other Line
You can delete every other line in the current buffer using the following
command.
There is a fairly elegant way in vim to delete every other line in the
current buffer. Why would you want to do that? I don't know. Nevertheless,
here it is:
```
:g/^/+d
```
This will essentially delete all even numbered lines. If you'd like to
delete all odd numbered lines, delete the first line in the file (`ggdd`)
and then run the same command as above.
This syntax is a bit awkward, so you may be better off going straight for a
macro (e.g. `qqjddq5@q` or `qqddjq5@q`).
