Remove Drawn Cards?

I feel like I must be missing something extremely basic. I was testing out a deck with my players, and all 4 of them drew a card. Well, decks didn't work at all how I wanted, so we decided to scrap it. But now, in every game, above their player name the card they drew displays. I've hidden the deck, we've tried all manner of clicking and option setting to make those cards go away. What am I doing wrong?

Two ways: 1) Unhide the deck, hover your cursor over the deck so that the commands pop up. Then hit "Recall" followed by "Recall All". 2) The players can drag the cards from their hand to the table and then hit "delete". Out of curiousity, how would you like the Decks to work? - Gauss
Gauss, Thanks! That did it! I'm glad I asked though, I wouldn't have thought of that, and hopefully now anyone else with that question will see this thread. I had created essentially a Jumanji type danger deck. Where each card had a command/malicious effect on the character that drew it. But, I wasn't about to create 52 images of those instructions, so I put them in the title of the card. eg: "REWARD: You've earned a treat. A cake has manifested in Bright Iron Keep. +1 Composure." I wanted cards because they would end up with a "hand" that has + cards and - cards that at the end of the session they would put together to form a score. I wanted that to be "collected" in the hand using the deck feature. However, in play, the titles of the cards aren't shown. So people ended up drawing a card and all they saw was the back image (since there were no front images) They didn't know what the cards said, and that was pretty much useless. So, I ended up copy/pasting all that work into a table, and they had to roll the table in chat to see what they drew. At the end of the session we reviewed the chat log to do all that + and -. This worked functionally, but it took a long time, was clunky, and took away from the "deck" concept of item they found.

Ahhhh ok. Well, deck images can take awhile. When I imported Munchkin it took me about 5hrs of work for the base decks.
I understand. I just wonder if there can be a way to display the card title instead of an image. Since images are optional anyway.
You could use my Custom Card Creator ( <a href="http://www.geeksville.us/swcard.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.geeksville.us/swcard.php</a> ) It was created for help make Savage Worlds Adventure Deck Cards, but could easily give you the text cards you're looking for. You do not need to supply a different image for each card if you don't want, but you have that option.
