How do I delete objects in the entire folder?

I got thousands of notecards in the "notecard" folder, is there any way to delete all of them at once, or at least use the cursor to drag a box around them? There's no way I can manually select every single one of them, that'll take like half an hour or something. Thanks.

Unfortunately, Notecards is a System Folder I believe and can't be deleted as a whole. I don't know of any way around it.

Select the first one, scroll down, SHIFT+Select the last, then hit the delete key. Tada!

Hm. I think you can select the first notecard and then the last one with the shift-key and select - then all notecards should be selected, then a right click and then "delete" in the menu.

If you maybe see one you want to keep, press 'Ctrl' instead of 'Shift' and deselect it.

then to avoid that problem in the future create a folder in the notecard folder and name it whatever you want, and as you get or make notecards put them in there (if you want to view them later) or just simply delete them then and there

now if I would only follow my own advice...
