When viewing the records in a collection, the ability to select multiple or all records and then delete them.

This would be great for testing purposes.

Please! Best for user experience too instead of deleting items one at a time

Good point, Watine. I’ve had the interest of at least selecting several data points to delete.

Greg: Clearly, multi selection would also be a good plus!

Hey all, agreed this feature is much needed. In the meantime I came up with a hack using browser automation to accomplish this and save everyone’s sanity on big collections. This video shows it in action: [https://youtu.be/nEna3y5dhx4](https://youtu.be/nEna3y5dhx4)  
I wrote up the full steps of how it works here: [How to save time & frustration by automating repetitive browser-based tasks - Grid7](https://grid7.com/2020/06/browser-automation-katalon-studio/)  
And also put the project file from that video on Github so you don’t have to build it from scratch: [GitHub - scrollinondubs/adalo-bulk-delete: Katalon Studio script for automating bulk deletion of records in an Adalo collection](https://github.com/scrollinondubs/adalo-bulk-delete)  
It should work by just swapping out your username/password/URL. lmk

Just copy the entire app, all collections in the database should be empty and you can re-import your data (that you updated outside of Adalo).

I believe this has been completed. I saw this feature today. You can tick several rows now… so helpful thanks guys!
