How to select all linked files via script

[Brother Li]

Does the script or action delete all linked files that are placed?

[Brother Li]

There are advertisements in the placed files, because there are a lot of such files to be processed, I want to delete all the placed files, is there a good way?

do you know how to select them by hand? it's as easy as running a script

- open the Links panel

- select all links

- click on the Go To Link button

[Brother Li]

I know this, but, I have hundreds of files and it's too slow to do it manually!

[Brother Li]

Use the script to select all the placed files, create an action to delete all the placed files with one click

[CarlosCanto]

edit the script that m1b wrote for you, instead of deleting a linked file by name, delete them all. Remove the condition that checks the name of the link

                if (
                    doc.placedItems[j].file.name == name
                    && ++count
                )

and if you don't want the alert (the popup window) remove this line as well

alert('Removed ' + count + ' placed items of "' + removeThis + '".')

I don't know anything about scripting languages, can you give me a complete code example

Hi @Brother Li, you could achieve this with a small modification of my answer to your other question.

Just change this line (in two places in script):

if (itemName == name) {

to this:

if (true) {

It will remove all placedItems and also rasterItems with link information.

hi @Brother Li 
try:

app.activeDocument.placedItems.removeAll();
app.activeDocument.rasterItems.removeAll();

works for me
