    This would be helpful. Each time I've started a new employment situation. There has been dozens if not hundreds of queries created by former staff and are of no use to current staff. Deleting them one by one can take a while.

    I agree this would be useful. in the meantime, I drop all unwanted queries into a folder called "archives". after a certain amount of time has passed, just delete the entire folder. its not the best solution, but an option

    It would be very helpful if queries can be pulled not only by query type and query format but also query folder as suggested AND "created by". If you can pull up queries from a particular folder and then narrow it down to the user you can then delete. I recently had to delete over 500 queries created by a specific user and had to select each of them individually (instead of a select all on multiple delete and deselect the ones to keep) as the multiple delete feature pull ALL queries.

    Is there a way to delete an entire folder without the application automatically moving it to the "General" folder. I want them all gone at one time instead of having to click on each one and delete (one-by-one). This is stupid that we can't even multi-select.

    The speed of the option "Delete multiple queries" is so slow, it's often faster to just delete one-by-one, but I agree, just let me delete the entire folder without copying them someone else automatically.
