How to delete posts in bulk

If there's an issue with posting to one of your channels and several posts fail, you can remove your failed posts in bulk by using one of two methods.

In this article: 

1. Clean Queue
2. Empty Queue

Clean Queue

If you'd like to remove all of the failed posts in one of your queues, you can use Clean Queue. Clean Queue will only remove failed posts from your queue. It will not impact scheduled posts that have not failed. 

To do this:

1. Open buffer.com.
2. Choose Channels from the left side panel.
3. Select the channel where you'd like to remove the failed posts from. 

4. Click the gear icon next to the channel name.

   

5. Click General. 
6. Scroll down and click Clean Queue. 

7. Click Clean Queue on the pop-up message to confirm.

Empty Queue

If you'd like to delete all posts from your queue, including both failed posts and scheduled posts, you can use Empty Queue. 

To do this:

1. Open buffer.com.
2. Choose Channels from the left side panel. 
3. Select the channel where you'd like to empty the queue. 

4. Click the gear icon next to the channel name.

   

5. Click General. 
6. Scroll down and click Empty Queue. 

7. Type the name of the channel to confirm and then click Empty Queue to complete the process.
