Quick Tip: Erasing many Portal Areas.

Tags: SharePoint

Erasing a Portal Area via the interface is a bit annoying - you go to the Manage Portal Site to get the Area Tree, right-click and Delete, then you have to confirm again, wait 10-15 seconds, then press another button to get back to the tree. If you're erasing a whole bunch of areas (on a development server, for instance, when you want to start a new batch of tests), it can take quite a bit of time and patience.

So a little shortcut - drag all the areas you want to erase under one area. Dragging is quick and progressbar-less. Then erase that area  All subareas will be automatically erased, and no hassle.
