Organizing and Deleting Queries (2.12)

Over time, you may accumulate many managed queries. Some of these queries may be redundant or unused and can be deleted, while others can be grouped for easier organization and findability. Queries in groups are listed alphabetically, followed by any ungrouped queries. Within each group, queries are also listed alphabetically.
