    Hi Sarah, when importing invoices to Xero, these should come in as drafts. You can Delete draft invoices in bulk from the Draft List view. 🙂

    Would be good to better understand the way invoices are coming into your organisation if there's a step I'm missing here?

    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.
