Hello @National_Journal_of,
did you find a way to delete these articles?
I also have some xml test articles in the customers OJS (v3.3.0.13).
Do wee need administrator rights?

It seems, that there was article deletion in OJS 2.x: How to delete article in ojs

I’ve installed OJS locally and had a look in the admin area. There are also no options to delete articles.

Thank you. That works on my machine with command line access. Even with more than one id parameter:

/var/www/html # php tools/deleteSubmissions.php 3
/var/www/html # php tools/deleteSubmissions.php 1 2 3 4 5 6
Error: Skipping 3. Unknown submission.
/var/www/html #

Unfortunately, I don’t have command line access on the customers OJS machine.
The deletion function as a select option in the GUI would be great. So less errors, i.e. when copying and pasting IDs, can’t occur.
