hi all,

I can't find a way to batch delete files in pond5, i have tried to upload some files and are in pending.. i can delete them one by one but I can't find an delete option in the batch processed..

the reason i want to delete those files in pending is because my ftp transfer was interrupted and some files aren't transferred. I don't want to have duplicate images so it is better for me to transfer again..

Good question. I thought they added that to the pulldown menu but apparently they didn't. This sucks.

Looks like you have to do each file individually.

what about deleting them on the ftp if they are still visible?

the fastest way i do is to click the 'wheel' tab and when the 'delete appear' right click as another windows... so i just repeat every files on same page..and click delete on every pages.. not the fastest..but good enough.

There is a batch delete function. After you navigate to your uploads and you're looking at the files you want to delete:

(1) Click the square directly above or below the individual file squares in order to select all of the files on the page.

(2) If you don't wish to delete all of the files listed, click in the square beside each file that you wish to delete.

(3) Click the drop-down box at the bottom of the page below the list and choose "Delete Rejected." Don't worry about the fact that the files haven't been rejected by an inspector.

(4) Click the "execute" button. You'll see a pop-up window indicating that the files are being deleted. After the operation is completed, you can close this window.

If you wish to confirm that the files have been deleted, refresh the uploads page. I've deleted files this way successfully on several occasions.

I know, it is old thread, but it is amazing to see that the problem is still there. I need to bulk delete files in Pond5 and I tried method suggested by Carl (using check boxes and Delete Rejected -> execute function below, but it did not work. It says "ignoring clip XXXX", apparently because it is not "rejected". Anyone figured out the fastest way to delete files from Pond5 in bulk, regardless if they are rejected or not?
