  I saw a video saying there should just be an option at the top of the page to select as many posts as I want but I can’t figure it out. This was originally a back up blog but I want to clean up all the ‘reblogged’ posts so I can make it 100% original content. It would be much more efficient through bulk deleting.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello thewitchofthenorse,

  To bulk delete posts, you need to get to Posts through the WP Admin page. The most certain way of doing this is to enter your website address in another browser window, but you need to add some additional text at the end of the URL.

  For your site, the website address for the WP Admin page would be:
  thewitchofthenorse.wordpress.com/wp-admin

  For this to work, you should login to WordPress.com first, and you will want to make sure you are logging in with the account that owns
  thewitchofthenorse.wordpress.com website.

  Once you have the WP Admin page, choose Posts from the left sidebar. Then from the listing of posts, check the posts you want to delete. Next, above the posts listing and to the left, click the Bulk Actions dropdown menu and select Move to Trash. To complete the bulk deletion, click the Apply button.

  If your WordPress.com account is less recent, you may find a link to WP Admin in the My Sites (left) sidebar. It will be near the bottom if you have it. If WP Admin link is present there, you can just click that instead of typing the WP Admin URL in a browser window.
