But how can I delete thousands of bookmarks in favourites at the same time?

To delete multiple items in favorites, I will
In the Bookmarks view, you can also use drag-and-drop method to rearrange the items.
After finishing the cleanup, you can close the tab/window or just start normal web browsing in the same way as switching other web site.
Selecting multiple items in Safari's Bookmarks view is easy as selecting items in the list view of Finder.
1. Click on the one to begin with.
2. Scroll down or up if necessary
3. Shift-click the one to end with.
4. Hit delete key to remove selected items at once.
Let me say,
you have A, B, C, D, ---, Y, Z
Click B, then Shift-Click Y. (This makes all of B, C, ...., Y are seleted.)
Then hit delete key
you now have A and Z only.
So, you can delete tens, hundreds, even thousands with just two clicks and one key stroke.
(note: if your bookmark is in sync with icloud ( or similar service ) you may get some delay to complete.)
Thank you for this post, this was SO helpful. Somehow thousands of empty bookmark folders showed up in bookmarks and this post made it easier to delete multiple files.
