Could you delete all the blog posts and content?

    A few days ago I created a site, I tried to import all post front blogger, but that imported like 3 GB of images, many from draft posts.

    And I did not remember I could remove media images directly, tried to remove posts, in bulk, but I does not work, it seems, as a few minutes ago tried it (changing to classic view).

    When I pressed ‘Delete the site’ (worded in spanish, but i think was that) i thought it would just erase all, but not the address. I did export previously all the post that were already published, then created this new site. When I tried to import, it imported all posts, draft and published ones, but as the previous site was already deleted, it just hot linked all the images on the posts (hot linked from blogger).

    I have a XML export from blogger, so i could either

    – use my local WordPress install, that has no content, and did just created it yesterday, to import that XML, delete all draft posts, and import them here (perhaps having to upload and add to the posts, the images again of the 75 published posts)

    – or just import here the XML from blogger, and delete all the images I can, to not have 3 GB occupied.

    Could you delete all the posts and pages from this site, but not the site?

    So i can start again. Thanks.

    Hello there,

    Happy to help you with this.

    Ok, so just to confirm the posts, pages, comments, media and links on caminniria.wordpress.com will be deleted and this can not be undone. Would you like to proceed?

    This is probably the safest route for this kind of migration.
