<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121">We just installed Archive Space at my institution this week, so I am brand new to the group, and unfortunately already in need of some basic assistance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121">I just finished batch-creating “location records,” and now need to delete them all due to an error on my part. I have begun deleting them individually, but I batch-created so many, that just about any alternative
to that task would be more efficient.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121">Currently, the only thing I have done in AS is to create the repository, and manage the user access. Starting everything over from scratch would not be a problem. Do I have any alternatives to individually
deleting or editing all of these location records? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121">Any advice is greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
