Blog EntryHow to Delete Many Posts FasterNov 15, '07 11:00 PM
by Luiz Felipe for everyone

PS: This tip is a work-around, and it does not work for photo albums or videos, only for Blogs, Music, Reviews and Links AFAIK.


OK, you have imported your blog entries from some other site and then found out that some were duplicated, or you want to delete all your old reviews to start over but there is no way to do a 'mass delete', right? Don't desperate. There is a little trick to make thing faster.

First, go to your Page Layouts (you can also access if after you click on Customize My Site found in your main page) and configure the section with the entries you want to delete to Full Entries. Then go to that section in your page. For example, if you want to delete your blog entries, click on Blog in your navigation menu ir go to:
http://Your_Username.multiply.com/journal

Now you should see all your entries with full contents, and also on the left a link to delete each one. Click on the first delete link and a window should appear asking you to confirm if your really want to delete the entry. Click on OK. Here is the catch: you don't even have to wait for the page to refresh to delete the next entry, just wait a couple of seconds and click on the next delete link, confirm again, wait 2 seconds, and so on... Of course, when you finish with the first page, probably you will want to refresh the page to see if you didn't miss any post and then continue with the deletion task...


You can do the same when you want to delete many replies to your posts. Actually, I found this tip when I had to delete 200+ comments in my own guestbook.


Hope it helps. Good luck.
