    Hi community, thanks for sharing the challenges you face around deleting invoices.

    Right now in Xero, invoices with a Draft status can be deleted in bulk from the list view - simply select the invoices and you’ll see an option to Delete at the top of the list.

    We understand that for many in the thread here you’re referring to the ability to bulk remove invoices that have an approved status(bulk void) and I have just updated the title of this idea to better reflect this.

    This isn’t a feature we have planned at this stage, but maybe something we explore longer term as a possible enhancement to the list view. For the time being, while not within the product for those with more technical resources there’s capability via our API that you may like to consider.

    Just wanted to add my thoughts to this. I've come across a new client recently where the previous advisor has done a dreadful job of importing sales, with around 300 invoices that need to be manually deleted. Not only this but they've made manual payments, into a control account. This means for every single invoice we have to remove the payment, then void the invoice.

    Whilst I understand you can bulk delete in draft, there has got to be a better way for this. This seems like quite a 'basic' feature that you really would expect a software of Xero's prominence to be able to do. I think most people would be shocked to realise that you cannot bulk delete invoices, and a problem like this can only be solved with literally hours of manual clicking.

    I know that implementing these things is easier said than done, but if you are going to have a bulk import option (which is obviously good) then it seems a bit crazy to not have a bulk delete option. I realise you'd probably need safeguards around an option like this too, such as the ability to undo your bulk delete.
