It would be nice if there were an option to select a number of journals or polls or deviations all at one time and delete them. Mostly because I personally hate having more than a few journals going at a time.

It would be amazing if there was even a drag and drop feature with a virtual recycle bin!!!

dA I'm sure has made an FAQ stating why they are not doing this.

I can agree to this. I once cleared out my entire gallery (nearly 2000 submissions) on my previous account and it took me 2 whole days deleting everything one at a time.

Yeah, sometimes I wish I could start over but with 300 deviations I don't have the time and I don't want a new account because that would mean losing watchers and having to get a new name

Yeah. I don't want to be spending another 2 days or more somewhere down the line deleting thousands of submissions if I decide I want to start over on the same account.

yiss, I agree and if someone's afraid that they're gonna get hacked or their friends will do something, well;
firstly don't share your password-that's your fault
and secondly, make it a difficult password, not something like yourname123 or something on your page, lol

Yeah and besides, if you do happen to get hacked chances are you won't get your account back and will have to start over anyway. If you keep all of your files someplace safe like on an external HDD, you can re-upload the ones you want.

Yeah, good point-it's not like they aren't going to delete art just because there isn't a quicker way to do it, anyways they could just click de-activate and I think that option is worse than a art deletion button

Yep, that deactivate button is both a blessing and a curse.

I agree, then again-even if I left dA I would still leave up my good art
