Delete multiple Bookmarks while keeping Bookmarks Bar and Opening Tabs

Hello.
I want to delete a lot of bookmarks from my Bookmarks Panel, but can only seem to do so one at a time.

I have accumulated hundreds of bookmarks that I don't need. But I want to keep my Bookmarks Bar in which I have a series of folders containing all the Bookmarks I use. I also open Safari in about 11 or so Tabs and I want to keep those too.

Under 'Collections' in my Bookmarks left hand panel I have my Bookmarks Bar and a few other items - History, Bonjour, RSS Feeds etc. I want to keep all of these. But below this group is another very large list of 'Bookmarks'. I'd like to delete all of those bookmarks in one go, or at least in groups of multiple bookmark deletions. But I can't find any way to do so.

Deleting the Bookmarks.plist deletes everything including all my folder-based Bookmarks Bar contents.

Is there any way to select just the extra Bookmarks for deletion?

Thanks.

iMac (2007) and Mac Pro (2008), Mac OS X (10.6.5)

You did not need to purchase Prariefire for $6.99 to delete multiple bookmarks in Safari. This is a ripoff app for what you can easily do in Safari for free. All you needed to do is select the bookmarks to delete by single tap on your touchpad, or left click on your mouse, and hold down the shift key to select a range of bookmarks to delete; then simply press the "delete" key on your keyboard and the bookmarks will be deleted. If you want to delete various bookmarks not in a single range, simply hold down your command key and select the bookmarks to delete and then press the "delete" key on your kepboard to delete them.
