Hacks Bookmarklet to delete archived personal documents quickly

[thomass]

For the new bookmarklet for deleting content items see bstriddy's post




Original post:

Spoiler:

when I tried to delete personal documents from the archive I realized that it is too boring to delete them one by one. Then with the help of Aei, created a bookmarklet to delete them page by page.

It could be possible to improve it by adding some filter for publisher, date, etc for specific usages.
Also you can use search filter on the page before using this bookmarklet.

To be safe it only works on "Personal Documents" section

just create a bookmark using this code as url; and press whenever you want to delete displayed personal documents. It will delete them (only displayed ones) immediately.

javascript:(function(){ var v = new RegExp("PersonalDocuments"); if (!v.test(document.URL)) { return false; } {a=document.getElementsByClassName('rowBodyCollapsed');for(var i = 0; i<a.length; i++){Fion.deleteItem('deleteItem_'+a[i].getAttribute('asin'));};return; }})();

This trick is useful also to get rid of huge list( of newpapers and such) on Pending Deliveries since if you delete a pending delivery on your Personal Documents list it will be deleted from the Pending Deliveries list also .

You can use the filter on Personal Documents to choose a title, author,date before using this bookmarklet.

Great: You saved me hours of dumb clicking on this stupid UI ;-)

This trick is useful also to get rid of huge list( of newpapers and such) on Pending Deliveries since if you delete a pending delivery on your Personal Documents list it is also deleted from the Pending Deliveries list.

You can use the filter on Personal Documents to choose a title, sender,...etc before using this bookmarklet.

I wrote Amazon about this problem/inconvenience; quite silly to only to be able to delete 1 personal document at a time, and have to wait for a screen refresh between each one. There should be some way to select multiple personal documents for a batch delete.

[thomass]

with this bookmarklet you can batch delete documents up to 15 at a time

But I agree that this option should be included in the site itself.

Thanks, just tried it, works great, especially when you "sort" your pers. docs first.

[sparkyj23]

Thank you for this.

[AlexGrama]

This is fabulous. Thank you.

Thanks! Huge timesaver.

To delete all of your archived Personal Documents you can use this bookmarklet (thanks to Aei)

javascript:(function(){jQuery.each(itemCache.theData,function(key,value){if(value.filters&&value.filters['Personal Documents']){Fion.gufsAjaxObj.makeRequest("contentName="+value.asin+"&loanId="+(value.loanId?value.loanId:'')+"&sid="+mykJS.sessionId+"&isAjax=1"+"&category="+value.category,function(){});}});alert('Done! If there are still something in "Personal Documents" left YOU MAY TRY ONE MORE TIME!');location.reload();})();

Bookmarklet doesn't seem to work anymore...
It used to work in Firefox on Mac but now only returns "false"...
It hasn't even launched in Safari (Mac), don't know if it ever did...
I'm referring to the "delete 15 entries" one, the other I don't wanna try...

thanks for the feedback

just tried and it worked without any problem. (with Chrome)

please be sure that you are in personal documents section

[johnnyb]

I think the problem here is more that it doesn't even run in Safari...
But thanks, it was great as long as it lasted... ;-)

I don't have a Mac to check and correct this for it. However this bookmarklet works under Windows w/o any problem.

Hope s/o fix it for Mac

Does anybody else have the same problem on Mac?

this bookmarklet is setted to check whether URL has a "PersonalDocuments" and to return false if it is otherwise

Hence if it returns false there is a strange problem

url is like this :

https://www.amazon.com/gp/digital/fiona/manage?ie=UTF8&ref_=kinw_myk_surl_1&#PersonalDocuments

if you are sure that it doesn't run when you are in Personal Documents section you can try after replacing "Personal Documents" with "amazon" (or any part of the URL) to make it work anywhere in this domain.
