# “Delete All” Button Missing

 * The “Delete All” button in the “404s” subsection is present when loading all 
   404s. However, it disappears once the list is searched and filtered, so I no 
   longer see a “Delete all matching xxx” option.
 * Pre-defined vs. custom display does not affect this.
 * I think this was introduced sometime recently, but it is not new with 4.6.2.
   
   Thanks.

 * Yes. The delete all button deletes everything, and so it doesn’t make sense to
   show it when the list is not showing everything.

 * I’m referring to the fact that now, on a search for “ABC” in 404s, the “Delete
   All” button no longer changes to “Delete all 404s Matching ABC”—a very useful
   feature—as before.
 * So now the quickest way to remove all 404s matching a query is page by page.

 * Same problem here.
 * There is no “Delete All” in a specific group of 404s, like for example if I select
   404s by IPs and then go to one of those IPs groups, there is no delete button.

 * Just logged in to start locating 404’s and deleting via search and noticed this
   also. PLEASE bring this back.
 * When I delete 404s, I do it in batches. For example, I search for anything that
   has “wp-content” and quickly review impacted pages. Then I delete those search
   results.
 * Then I search on anything that has “.php” to see if there are suspicious IPs 
   or activity that needs to be blocked. Then I delete those search results.
 * I essentially get rid of the unnecessary 404s so I can drill through the meaty
   problems that need to be solved. So I delete in large batches using search. It’s
   SO useful for large sites.
 * Please, please bring it back.

 * Ok, I understand what you mean now. It was disabled because in some situations
   the ‘delete all’ applied to everything, not just the current view. I felt it 
   safer to disable the feature until I could spend more time ensuring that it matched
   the current view.
 * The 4.7 beta restores the function:

 * [@lechon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lechon/) you can delete when grouped
   by IP by clicking the ‘delete all’ underneath the row in the table, not the button
   at the bottom of the page.
