Restore a site to a "blank" state

We have a cloud appian site we been using to test some demo applications. Currently we have about 5000 objects saved. 

What is the best way to go about reseting/clean the site?

I have found some info here, but no details.

    How many documents and (document) folders do you have?  If it's thousands, it would probably save you quite a bit of time to write a quick process model to iterate over them all and delete them procedurally, then you could move on to deleting other items in your site (rules, models, etc).  I would suggest that it might not be necessary to delete *every* such object, but of course that's up to you and your project leadership.

    As the docs say, you can delete all these objects from the user interface. Within the Appian designer, you can bulk delete objects and then bulk delete applications.

      Thank you Danny for the quick response and the verification that this refers to the function as seen on the picture.

      When selecting all it seems that it only selects all of the objects displayed on the page, so 25. Is there a way to select more in order to delete them in one go?
