Using ADE v.4.5.4 - This solution works. It's not that intuitive. A simple undo or an extra line in the menu item would have been a more logical way to do this. As it currently stands, you can highlight the same item a dozen times and you have delete each item. I suggest that this be sent up as a feature request, since it is likely working as designed... it's just not a logical design for the end-user.
By the way, this question IS ANSWERED. I tried out the method myself and I've only been using the product for a matter of days.
