Selecting more than one line to delete in the Lost and Found directory?

Piquant

I have been cleaning up my Lost and Found directory after a lot of - stuff. Now, there's nothing left in the Smart Content Lost and Found section, just the Lost and Found list in Content Libray, Categories, Lost and Found list. Is there a way to select everything in that list to delete at the same time? All of them are blank references.

You don't have to do so... actually the trick is : just select Lost and Found category in Content Library > Categories > Default, right-click to Delete it.

Next time if there's any items installed / re-imported with unassigned Category, DS will automatically create Lost and Found ~~

I have the same thing as Piquant except worse:  only MOST of them are blank references.  This means that destroying Lost and Found is not an option for me.
  I had to reset my database (saved my user data, thank you) due to a faulty product stating "updatable" and then not updating (http fetch errors).  The reset didn't help either.
The UI design on this is atrocious. 

• If I move something via the menu, it transports me instantly to where I moved it, while if I duplicate it, it doesn't do this
• If I move something to a subfolder by dragging it, I am teleported to the top of the (in this case, VERY LONG) list.  What I expect is that I am left where I was or, at the very least, left in the place where I moved it to.
• The inability to multi-select on the left-hand frame is completely out of line, given that the tree is not shown in the right hand frame where multiple select IS possible.
• There is no option to tell the UI to show folders in the right-hand side.

What I'd started doing is this:

• create a Lost and Check folder (for the LaF items that are not blank)
• create a Lost and Empty folder (for the myriad items that are blank)
• drag-move, one by one, from Lost and Found to one of the above, periodically destroying and recreating "Lost and Empty"

Then I thought I'd be smart and go thru letter by letter and move only the populated stuff, which is where I ran into the first set of problems, namely after moving each non-blank item, getting teleported to the very top of Lost and Found.
If I have to ever rebuild my DB and re-update/re-import metadata again I swear I am going to hang myself for the trouble it is causing me.
