delete certain tasks macro

How would I write a macro that would delete all tasks with duration = 1 day.
I have around 10,000 tasks so writing a macro is necessary unless Project
already has this functionality built in. I have never written a macro before
so any help would be appreciated.

No need for a macro:

Save a copy of the file
Select Project, Filtered For, More Filters
Create a new filter called Duration1 that shows only tasks with a duration
of 1d
OK then Apply

You should now only see tasks with a duration of 1d so you can delete them
all in one go.
Shortcut to show all unfiltered tasks again is to press F3

Tomcat,
Rod's suggestion will certainly do what you requested but I offer a
caution. It would be nice to know the reason you want to delete tasks
with a 1 day Duration. I can think of a few scenarios where 1 day tasks
are significant and relevant to a project plan. Deleting them outright
may not be the best approach.
