I am building a survey site with several custom post types each of them being a different survey.

From time to time I need to empty survey results to start a new survey, so I need to remove completely all the posts created during the last survey.

Is there any way to do this from the front end?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, one delete post link can handle one post at the same time, in your case, you might consider custom codes, for example:
Query those posts you want to remove, and delete/trash them with wordpress functions.
