Is there a way to detect or delete a line segment which exactly overlaps with a longer line
Thanks

Yes,

press and hold on your Keyboard the "alt" key and click with the left mouse button on the suspect entity.

Ok thanks that seems to work -- but is there a way to do it on a selection of many lines without having to click on each one

No.

The question is what is your goal? In the case that you are just looking for identical stacked entities then you could use "Detect duplicates" ...

Detect duplicates only detects if the the 2 lines are exactly the same but I need to check a lot of lines that might partially overlap becuse of diferent lenghts etc.
hope that makes sense thanks for help

Sounds like work ....

Maybe the "Selection Filter" is able to help you with this task.
