Deleting Multiple Products

I am looking for a way to delete a multiple amount of products at one time. I have 943 products I need to delete and it seems the only way to delete them is by using the locate a product button then deleting it from there, that would be ok if i could just go down the list and keep hitting delete but it takes me right back to the beginning every time. Hitting the back button is also time consuming and it does not show the deleted product. I hope someone has some help for me as I delete alot of product on a regular basis.

wont that cause problems with stored orders that those products are on? everything i have read says not to purge. I would make them inactive but it seems to bog down the system. when i had 3.51 it used to stay on the same page after you deleted a product and even though still quite tedious was easier to just go down the list and hit delete, space bar, delete, space bar and go down the list. it was pretty fast.
