This sandbox and subpages of this sandbox were used as tests of User:ProteinBoxBot. The owner of this sandbox, User:JonSDSUGrad has not been active since 2009. Per this discussion, it was noted that these test pages contain templates that automatically add categories. Hence a large number of categories are "poluted" by these test pages (see for example ). There is such a large number of subpages that it is not practical to delete each one individually. Is there a way to delete this particular sandbox and more importantly all the subpages of this sandbox in one operation? (i.e., a recursive delete equivalent to the Unix command "rm -r") Boghog (talk) 20:16, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

* Delete it and all subpages Admins don't have an automatic tool to recurse, but if some admin doesn't want to spend 10 minutes clicking delete 250 times, it could be posted as a botreq after the MfD concludes. I agree that deletion would be best in this case. Even though the bot owner isn't active, you might try to email him to clean up his mess if you haven't already. Gigs (talk) 13:39, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
