there is/was an option [Find and merge duplicate inventory items | Manager](https://www.manager.io/guides/13606)  
but at present it is categorized as a bug which will be fixed. read below.

Alright thanks for that update. Is it possible to do a mass batch delete then? It would be easier for me if it were possible through excel format like batch update and batch create; however batch delete just stays in manager. So anyway to delete a mass of items cause its time consuming going through 700+pages.

you can do a `Batch Update` and delete the duplicates in excel.

i have an excel pricelist; it would be easy if i could just delete the whole inventory. Is that possible?

At the bottom of the screen in the inventory item tab

Batch Delete only allows me to select items and delete per page. I want to mass delete as i explained earlier. Its 735pages

okay i figured a work around with the limitation. i opened it in my browser and changed the url at the end to show this Skip=0&Take=35000; instead of Skip=50&Take=50. That way it shows 35000 per page.
