Is there a way to change the type of an Access Filter?

I have a single access filter defined on my data source, created by Manual Data Entry. We've now hit the limitation of not being able to delete entries several times, and it is becoming cumbersome to re-enter every entry each time I need to remove a single entry.

Is there a way to change the type of an existing filter to either a scheduled query or upload file?

Alternatively, if I create a new filter, will this be automatically be applied to all the existing reports if I update the required field in each view to be linked to the new filter?
Good Afternoon,

Hope you are well,

Sorry for the delay in responding to your post.

I have done some investigation in to your request and I can advise that it is easy to edit and delete the access filters, I have included a link to a post on our forum that talks through the problem and the resolution.
