Can we force delete cms items?

Design help CMS

Hey All,

We currently have 100s of CMS items with multiple reference fields per cms item.

Is there a “force” delete solution to delete cms items?

I can’t go to each item, delete all 5 references, then go to all 5 reference cms items, delete the reference to the original item, and then start all over again for the other hundred cms items…

There must be a solution?

Thanks.
Michael

Multirefs shouldn’t deter you from deletion, unless they’re self-referencing. Generally, it’s references into a Collection that prevent deletion, until those references are removed.

If you have a self-referencing Collection, just delete that field first, save the collection, close and re-open it, and then you should be able to delete the entire thing.

If you have other Collections with ref fields pointing to the collection you want to delete, it’s the same process. Delete those ref fields first, and then there are no dependencies on the collection you want to delete.

Is there any better solution by now?

Wish there was just a small button that says “remove from referenced collection and delete”
