There must be a better way to delete all these Automated Messages

Rather than having to click on it and delete it.

Is there a check box that I can start checking all of the items I want to delete?
More likely than not I am stuck...

Caution. If you have any mail you want to keep, uncheck it manually before you do the delete button.
