I just got the message saying i am only allowed to have 100 workspaces in one account. So i went off to delete a few. This is a pretty annoying process though.
I cannot delete multiple at once and when i delete a single one, i go back to the default page again. So i have to go back to the old workspaces again, delete a single one and go all the way back again.
I can sort by course of name but it is still a pretty annoying process. Naturally, you want to delete the oldest workspaces and not the newest.
Maybe this can get some improvement in the future.

16,170 PointsYes Treehouse, please add the ability to delete multiple workspaces at once, or all at he same time.

Courses Plus Student 12,856 PointsI just bumped into this as well. Workspaces is a great feature! I usually save them to a local directory though; I don't really have any need to maintain them after I've completed a course (or track). Maybe you could let us know somewhere near the beginning of a course that we'll need to delete them when we're done?
Thanks for some great learning tools, Team Treehouse!

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 15,050 PointsYes, it will be really great usability feature to have. I was thinking of deleting all workspaces at once and found that it was not possible.

8,759 PointsYes, this would be great. It would also be great to enable a setting where tree house would automatically delete the oldest workspace to make room for a new one when your storage is full. That way, if you don't care about saving old workspaces, you never even have to think about it. Treehouse just automatically removes the oldest and saves the new.

8,100 PointsOMG! This is obviously a must have feature!
To make it worse. If you use a filter let's say, a course whose workspaces you want to delete, the filter is reset after every deletion. So if you want to keep deleting workspaces under a given filter you have to select the same filter over and over again... Or you might end up deleting the wrong workspace by mistake. I call this a nightmare of a user experience, which is really weird on a otherwise fantastic web site.
Now, on a more suggestive tone. When you give the message informing that a user has used all their available workspaces, you could show a menu to select an old workspace to be overridden. That would be a relief.

10,002 PointsIn addition to multiple selection/delete of workspaces, setting to delete oldest, not reseting of filters and page location when deleting, I think an option to delete a workspace from the workspace itself would be helpful. When you complete a lesson you sometimes know there is no reason you would want to reference it later. The painstaking process of removing old workspaces is the only real bad thing about TreeHouse.

in the console. Deletes all that is shown on the page after you accept the prompt. I do agree this feature would be nice tho.

Caleb Kleveter
Treehouse Moderator 37,862 PointsHi Amelia,
Agree, this would be a nice feature to have, but the TH development team has limited time and a lot to do, so when it comes to priorities, this feature is far down on the list. For now, I think Andreas's solution is pretty cool:
// Run in the dev tools console
$( ".workspace-delete" ).trigger( "click" );
