Bulk delete all images associated with a post?

  • I’ve got a site where I’d love to be able to easily delete all photos associated with a specific post from the server.

    I know it’s possible to check multiple checkboxes in the Media Gallery to bulk delete, but those can’t be filtered by post.

    What I am looking for is more of a ‘zap all images attached to this post’ button that deletes the files and removes the database record.

    If there is no plugin to do this I might have a go at writing one, but I thought I’d ask you lovely WordPress people first and see if I’m missing something?

    You can sort by ‘attached to’ actually in the media tab (in 3.2 at least), so unless you have 30+ images per post, it’s not terrible horrific.

    Oh can you? Is that a new 3.2 feature, I can’t spot it?

    I have rather a bunch of plugins on this install and some of them are not yet 3.2 ready so had been deferring the update for a little while.

    I do have rather a lot of images per post on this site though, some of them more than 30.

    Go to the screen options in the media page and see if “Attached to” is there. But yeah, on 3.2 it’s there.

    I’ve currently got ‘attached to’ shown as a column heading but I can’t filter on it.

    Will doublecheck those plugins and hope an update to latest build will do the job.
