New description:

 I have a directory with many children, and would like to remove them all.
 Currently I have to remove them one at a time, which is inconvenient,
 especially through the WUI. To close this ticket, add a method to
 [source:src/allmydata/dirnode.py?annotate=blame&rev=3d771132a843a85578dc23a6cac55b4fae09fc64
 dirnode.py] named something like {{{delete_multiple_children}}} along with
 tests in
 [source:src/allmydata/test/test_dirnode.py?annotate=blame&rev=bdfa7b377226ffb5a3c3f7b602e885772c900e04#L1800
 test_dirnode.py]. (Probably just copy class
 {{{allmydata.test.test_dirnode.Deleter}}} to create your new class
 {{{MultiDeleter}}}.)

 Then add controls to the WUI and the cli to unlink multiple children at
 once.
