[mnemosyne-proj-users] Mass delete of cards

Peter, et. al. How do I mass delete cards from a 2.x deck? I imported a 1.x deck and it imported history. For reasons that are unimportant, I want to have this particular deck WITHOUT history, but couldn't see how to remove them outright nor clear history on them. Thoughts? -- You received
