What do you mean by 'delete packets'. Are you wanting to actually remove
packets off the wire, or just from an offline storage of your capture?

I want to remove packets from the capture in progress that's on the hard
drive.

option 2:

You want to filter out specific traffic before storing a capture to disk.

option 2 is closer to what I want, but it's not what I want.
I want to remove specific traffic WHILE storing a capture to disk.
