What if you unioned the Layers with the polygon - then deleted the original polygon from the new layer? I don't know if that would work - every layer would then need to be touched once to clip and then again to delete the original polygon...but you would have a break then at each intersection if I understand this correctly.

So, does anyone know of a way to efficiently cut features in multiple
layers using a polygon, and then to be able to select the pieces
(multiple layers) that are either inside or outside the polygon, and
then delete them?


Disregarding the "multiple":

"Vector -> Geoprocessing -> Clip" deletes the items outside the polygon
Nope, doesn't. - In my first point I said: */Vector Geometry Processing Clip, but it wants to extract the data inside the polygon and create a new file with the extracted data. (To be expected) /*but meant: */Vector-> GeoProcessingTools-> Clip, but..... /*(my bad, apologies)*/ /*It does not delete, it clips them out into a new layer/- which is not what I'm hoping to achieve./*/

You would have to do it for every layer you want to be cut, the dialogue box will stay open after cutting. If the polygon layer contains just one polygon, no selecting is necessary.

BTW: make sure all layers share the same CRS (i.e. turn on-the-fly-reprojection off)
