  I am trying to delete all of my posts. Now I understand there isn’t a mass deleting options for this, so I am deleting one by one. Fine. BUT… I delete them and they disappear, but when I got back to that page (manage posts) they are there again — the posts I had just deleted! Any suggestions? If deleting 150 posts one by one is what I have to do, I’ll do it. But I am just deleting them and they keep reappearing! :-( Please help! The support is down.

  Try to bypass your cache by holdin’ Ctrl and click F5 (when you’re on My Dashboard > Manage > Posts / Pages). :)

  should I hold Ctrl + F5 while I am deleting them? Because right now I am deleting a couple and then hitting Ctrl + F5 and they are showing back up. I don’t understand why when you click delete they just aren’t deleting (like they should)?

  Ya probably need to contact the support on http://wordpress.com/contact-support/ . When they reopen. :)

  Haha. thanks — I am just waiting (patiently). And compulsively hitting the “support” button to see if they are open.

  That was days ago, and the problem still persists. Posts are not deleting.
  So I edited a post that had supposedly been deleted, and kept reappearing, and saved it, and THEN it vanished.

  Something is broken on the good ship WordPress.

  I’m having the same problem. I posted over at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=14294&page&replies=9#post-114255 too but I thought I’d post here as well since this one is not marked “resolved”
