Introduction:


Managing large amounts of data within templates can be time-consuming, especially when you need to delete multiple items nested within a folder. This guide will show you a pro tip to simplify the bulk deletion process, saving you valuable time and effort.

Pro Tip at a Glance

To bypass the need to delete sub-items one by one, create a template labeled "Trash Can". Simply click and drag all items you want to delete into this template. You can delete the entire template in one action, effectively removing all nested items without the extra steps.

How to Implement the Pro Tip

Follow these simple steps to execute the bulk deletion:

  1. Step 1: Create a new template and name it "Trash Can."

  2. Step 2: Click and drag all the items you want to delete into the "Trash Can" template.

  3. Step 3: Once all items are moved, delete the "trashcan" template. This will automatically delete all items within it, including sub-items.

Common Questions

Q: Can I recover items once the "trashcan" template is deleted?
A: No, deleting the template will permanently remove all items within it. Be sure you no longer need these items before deletion.

Q: What if I accidentally move the wrong items into the "trashcan"?
A: Review items carefully before deleting the template. You can move items back to their original location if needed.
