  To delete any files or uploads from your WordPress.com blog’s Media Library, start the process by navigating to Media -> Library in your blog’s dashboard: > bulk delete images > http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-files/#bulk-deletion

  @tt-Well, that should be added to the “related” box on the Media Library Support doc. :)

  @heleneodette-Also, if you want to display more images to be able to delete quicker, you can change the number of displayed images per page from the Screen Options button
