Bulk delete ALL large attachments in iPhone storage

There’s been many questions but so far no resolutions on how to delete ALL large attachments on the iPhone in order to clear up storage. Every response is the same. Settings—> General —> iPhone Storage —> Review large attachments —> edit—> Select the ones you want to delete and click the trash can button. But guess what that’s not deleting them ALL. That’s allowing you to SELECT which ones you want and then delete. Such a tedious process. It’s 2020, why is select all or delete all such a rarity? Same with email. If I want to go into iCloud or yahoo to delete my inbox I have to select on each one, why people?? Such technology has surpassed our minds in so many ways!! But I have take each piece of trash wad it up and throw it in a trash can, oh wait there is a shredder for that, assuming you’re still into paper. I regress, yes technology woes not being able to delete ALL <— notice the all caps, means everything at the same time not selecting each and every piece of attachment that I want to delete. If it’s in the iPhone storage receptacle then it’s already in “trash” . I’ve taken what attachments are important and I’ve already saved them. Deleting the large attachments in iPhone storage should be like emptying the trash. I’m not going to iPhone storage or iMessage storage or wherever else to find a gif or video or photo that I’ve somehow misplaced. If it’s there it’s trash. Please allow a function on the next iOS update to include a trash button or delete ALL for large attachments in iPhone storage. I’m dealing with trigger finger issues the less tapping/clicking the round circles, the easier. Much appreciated!
