Upgrade StorageHow to get rid of RISexport folders in one batch
Hello!
When I import Bibtex or RIS files into Zotero they show up as a separate folder in my library (Primo_RIS Export1. Primo_RISexport2 etc. ). I typically take the item out of the folder and put it in a different labeled folder within the library. I'm not good at deleting these imported folders, and so now I have thousands and thousands of them clogging up my library. Is there a way to select them all and delte them at once? I can only seem to delete them one by and one, and with thousands to delete that is a VERY time consuming task. It doesn't let me click option "select" multiple folders to delete them as one would do normally. Thank you! I apologize in advance if the terminology I'm using to describe the problem isn't correct.

Note, btw. that you can just import into Zotero from Primo using the browser button, which works without an itermediate folder and also will tend to produce better metadata.
