Well, that kinda works.  However, the damage that it did was extreme.  I spent about 20 minutes disabling things that I knew that I would never use.  That went fine.  However, going into the surveyor, I no longer could get a picture in the box when I clicked on any item in scenery or rolling stock.  Nothing.  The only way to see it was to place it on the layout.  Also, when driving a locomotive, the in-cab view no longer worked: it was just like the chase view.  
So, I thought that maybe deleting some of the hi-speed Japanese rolling stock may have been the culprit and I "un-disabled" them.  That's when the fun started.  Dependencies were missing everywhere.  After 5+ hours of chasing dependencies, most things work now.  However, there are still things that I cannot retrieve.  My worst one was an old T:ain diesel loco that the in-cab view was actually more like the headlight being the camera.  I loved that view and I cannot get it back.
I have scenery that says that it is missing dependencies, but when I click on it to find out what one(s), it doesn't show any.
