This tool will allow you to delete a batch of item records from Koha.

From the tool you can choose to upload a file of barcodes or item ids, or you can scan items one by one into the box below the upload tool.

Once you have your file uploaded or the barcodes scanned you can click 'Continue.'

You will be presented with a confirmation screen. From here you can uncheck the items you don't want to delete and decide if Koha should delete the bib record if the last item is being deleted before clicking 'Delete selected items.' If you'd like you can delete the bibliogrphic record if you're deleting the last item by clicking the checkbox next to 'Delete records if no items remain'.

If your file (or list of scanned barcodes) has more than 1000 barcodes, Koha will be unable to present you with a list of the items. You will still be able to delete them, but not able to choose which items specifically to delete or delete the biblio records.

If the items are checked out you will be presented with an error after clicking 'Delete selected items' and the items will not be deleted.

If the items can be deleted they will be and you will be presented with a confirmation of your deletion.
