Can you bulk delete pages? (pages that don't share the same parent)

[Peta Edmonds]

I want to delete hundreds of old pages but it looks as though you can only bulk delete parent pages with their child pages. Is there a way of deleting pages regardless of them sharing the same parent page?

If using Confluence Cloud, then Bulk Action Tools can do this as well.

Thanks Stephen, unfortunately we use the Server so this option is not available for us.

You could also look at confluence’s API or Bob swift’s CLI (by appfire) to do this.

Thanks Craig, will look into it.

Your gonna need something like Adaptivist ScriptRunner to do this.

Thanks Shawn, I'll have our tech team look into it.

Hi Shawn, I've followed this up with our tech team and it looks like we have it coming in our upgraded version.

We currently use Confluence for our intranet. Do you know how to run a bulk delete with the solution you suggested?

I'm not a systems specialist, just a confluence user.
