How to do bulk delete of many posts
-
The support page https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#deleting-posts suggest to use Move to Trash from the Bulk Actions dropdown.
But action applies only for one page in the list, that shows only 20 posts per page. I have 28 pages of posts. Should I do it manually 28 times or quicker method exists? E.g. change number of posts on a page to be 100?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can change the number of posts per page by opening the Screen Options menu from the top right.
Here are a couple of screenshots:

Thanks for the answer. I was able to change number of posts on page to 500.
But I’ve got the different issue. After selecting all posts and specify “move to Trash” and clicked Apply the error page was shown:
This site can’t be reached
mfreidge.wordpress.com unexpectedly closed the connection.
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED.
It seems that I exceeding some limit. I am planning to try smaller number,e.g. 100.
Any other ideas? -
I’ve changed to 100 and after some time waiting for process received different error
Something has gone wrong with our servers, and we’ve just been notified of the problem.
This will be fixed as soon as possible, so kindly reload in a minute and things should be back to normal.And after retry I’ve received already familiar to me “Error in moving to Trash.”

I think you can’t just bulk delete several hundred posts. The Support Staff can do that for you. Just add the tag modlook to the right sidebar to notify Staff and have them bulk delete it for you.
