Overview

Delete posts, pages, links, tags, and categories from your blog with one admin tool rather than having to handle deletion of all of these as separate actions.

Select from post types and tick a box to determine whether or not to delete tags, categories, and links. A javascript prompt will keep you from submitting by accident.

Users must have the “Manage Options” capability in order to use this.
