Forever ago, I needed a way to delete huge amounts of articles from OJS. This has been a product of batch uploading, because when you delete an issue, all of the articles in that issue go into the "Unassigned" category of the submission process. When you're working on a back-issue run that gets things clogged up pretty quickly.

I made a request about it on bugzilla at some point. You can see that here: http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3914

Anyway, the solution needs some re-thinking so here's an _issue_ about it. Maybe we can create a plugin that automatically deletes articles when issues are deleted? Who even knows.
