If I have 30 frames, how do I delete frames 1 to 29? Or how can I make frame 30 to be frame 1?

Open the keyframe window, select the keyframes in frame 30 and drag them over to frame 1.

Could you explain it further?

When I drag them, I get a blue outline. After I drag them to keyframe 1, nothing seems to happen.

I guess adding more info would help.

All I'm trying to do is add a dynamic cloth to a character. I think that once the "calculating simulation" is complete, the frames 1 to 29 is not needed anymore so I want to remove them.

If all you want is a still  image, go to the frame where the outfit looks the best to you and then stay there. Render. Poser will render that frame. You do not have to delete frames.

I know that but for the sake of efficiency, I want to delete the useless frames.

You could do a Memorize All on frame 30, then go to frame 1 and Restore All.. And then delete the other frames, once everything from frame 30 has been "copied" to frame 1. It should work, though I must admit I've never tried it with dynamics.

-in frame 30, spawn a morph target for the cloth. -delete the simulation. -set the MT to 1. -select all of frame 30 (lclick+hold) by dragging the white selection box from the top to the bottom. -click on the "add key frames"-button. -lclick on the selection and drag it to frame 1 (white selection box turns blue). -select frame 2-30. -press the "Del" key.

stewer has it right.  Click the Key button, then go to the colomn for frame 30, drag down the whole column, the click on it and drag it over the first column.  You should then be able to change the frame count from 30  to 1, and start over again.

There's two boxes with frame numbers in the bar on the lower side of the screen: the left one indicates the actual frame, the right one indicates the total number of frames. Just enter 1 in the right box to delete the rest of the frames.

Don't do this when using dynamic cloth or hair - those depend on the simulation, which is a multiframe animation!

Yes SVDL, but if the last frame is th only one he wants to keep...

Oops, got it wrong there.

By the way, frames 2-29 do not take up any memory, as long as no keyframes are set within this range. So clearing out frames doesn't do anything, really.
