How to delete many draft files at once

[Benoit Masse]

I'm a simple user, with no database access.

I want to remove-delete all my draft files, almost 100. I didn't check the drafts tab since years.

Make this manually is very too long.

Any clue for me.

I promise, I will clean it every week.

Thanks

Hello @Benoit Masse!

As I understand, you have a high volume of drafts in your user account in Confluence and need to remove those drafts.

Currently, the deletion of multiple drafts at the same time is not possible. Since I am not 100% sure about which platform you are using (cloud or on-premises) due to your mention of database, I will link documentation for both:

• [Confluence Cloud] Create, edit, and publish a page – Drafts
• [Confluence Data Center and Server] Drafts

The feature to delete multiple drafts at once has been suggested here:

• [Confluence Cloud] Ability to bulk delete drafts

Currently, the best course of action is to vote and watch the report. Voting helps to increase the visibility given to the report and by watching the report you will be kept up to date with everything posted there.

Let us hear from you!
