Bills – Ability to Bulk Delete Attachments from Bills
Hello Xero Team,
I’d like to suggest an enhancement to the way attachments are handled when sending bills into Xero. At the moment, when bills are forwarded via email, Xero captures not only the invoice PDF but also every image embedded in the email—such as logos, footers, signatures, and other graphic elements. This results in several unnecessary files being attached to a single bill.
Currently, these attachments have to be deleted one by one, which is time‑consuming and inefficient.
It would be extremely useful to have the option to select multiple attachments and delete them in one action, similar to bulk actions available elsewhere in Xero.
Thank you for considering this enhancement.
Kind regards,
Analise

Thanks for your feedback, Analise. Perhaps something you've already picked up on in relation to your note about bulk actions elsewhere however you can currently bulk delete files from within the Files library > Archive.
This includes files that have been uploaded directly to a transaction rather than from the files library.
There's an Associated with column so you can click through to check the bill you're deleting a file from
We don't have plans for adding a bulk delete option from within a bill itself atm, but we'll begin to track the interest for this here.
