How clean up Drafts? (lemmy.world)

Do I have a habit of starting to write a comment, then go "nevermind why am I bothering". Or I started saying something that I decoded is dumb and aborted (you're all welcome). Well at this point I have hundreds.

I can't find a way to delete them other then 1 by 1 and hitting confirmation each time. Am I missing something?

I thought about backup and delete storage or uninstall, but the DB backup that has settings in it also backs up drafts... I tried toggling save drafts off and on but that only applies to new drafts.

I guess I'd rather just not have drafts than have a forever growing pile but something like a setting to delete after X time would be a great feature. But in the short term, delete all seems like it would be relatively straightforward to implement?

If you look at my recent posts for The International 2026, then those are perfect examples of what you can use templates for.

It's also useful in comments some times, although of course a much less common use case. But there are definitely for example recurring questions that you give the same answer to every time that could be useful to have a template for. Or informative comments for example to new users where you have a collection of links etc.
