Upgrade StorageBatch delete PDFs?
Hi,
After years of use, my Zotero library is huge. I'd like to basically purge all of my PDF attachments because I rarely use them (as opposed to using the bibliography features, which I use all the time). How do I delete PDFs, either individually or in a batch? Ideally I would like to batch delete because there are so many, it could literally take me days and days to delete them all one by one. I couldn't find a simple answer to this in the forums already...
Thanks!

aurimasUse a saved search to filter all PDFs. http://www.zotero.org/support/searching#advanced_search Select "Attacment File Type" "is" "PDF" and save that as a Saved Search. Then select the search and hit Ctrl+A to select all PDFs.

adamsmith(when following aurimas's instructions, you'll note that both bib items and PDFs show up in the saved search, but the former are greyed out and only the latter are selected when using ctrl+a)
