How can I delete Voice Memos?

I suppose you could SSH in to your phone and delete them. Try /private/var/mobile/Media/Recordings. Off the top of my head, not sure of the exact location
One question: Why do you have "a few hundred" voice memos on your iPhone?

This. Also, can't you just plug into iTunes, go to the "Voice Memo" playlist and delete all of them?
Well I record stuff.
It doesn´t work, I deleted everything from iTunes, but the files stay in the iPhone.
I don´t understand the SSH, I don´t jailbreak my phone.
It takes three finger keystrokes (in different places) to delete one file. I´m not going to start doing this procedure hundreds of times. This is so stupid, how can Apple let something like this slide?

Probably because they understand that it's a pretty worthless app to begin with.
It's worthless to Apple, and that's really the only thing that matters when it comes to their products - or haven't you learned that by now?
If removing them from iTunes didn't work, SSH is the next best option. You will need to jailbreak your phone but that will only take 5 minutes.
Thanks, but I don´t want to jailbreak my phone.
How can I contact Apple with this? This is absurd.
Thanks! But why close the thread? And who are you to decide that anyways.
It´s a valid thread of a obvious stupid flaw in "the best phone in the world".
Close thread because there is no fix so you should just send feedback. I also sent feedback today about a "Kill All Apps" for multi tasking because it takes a while to delete all the open apps.
Well that is not certain, that´s why it´s important to keep the thread alive. Maybe someone knows the solution.
My sarcasm meter isn´t working so good today. Is this sarcasm or do you actually need a *facepalm*?
Do you even have an iPhone? Of course there is no solution. You can't delete more than one at a time, period. It's not like some obscure feature where you can shake the phone when in the list. It's an Apple app - that means you what you see is what you get. It has six buttons - it's as simple as it gets. Someone needs to give you the facepalm.
All at once!
I got few hundred Voice Memos in my iPhone and I´m not about to start deleting them one at a time.
So please tell how is this done?
No one has the answer for this mystery?
I think you can use iFunBox to delete the voice memos. http://i-funbox.com/
I haven't tried it yet to delete files, but I use it to copy files from my iPhone outside of iTunes
Phoneview will work, I just tested it out by deleting 100+ recordings on my 3gs iphone.
I did have one issue though. After deleting the files with phoneview the voice memo app on the phone still listed all the previously deleted recordings. The data/audio was not there (pressing pay did not play audio) so in order to refresh the list in voice memo I simply recorded a new memo.

maybe apples intentions are you would delete them as you no longer need them not after you have hundreds you dont need, delete all would cause more problems then good from accidently hit it, atleast this way you can only accidently delete one at a time
Had the same problem. Found clear instructions here: http://renversement1.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-delete-voice-memos-from-itunes.html Followed them. It works.

Deleting all voice memos
No one really posted a good reply to this thread with definite instructions. So if there's anyone out there who comes across this problem I hope what worked for me will also work for you. Download ifunbox here: http://www.i-funbox.com/ Connect you iPhone or other iDevice and expand your device in the left hand side column. Go into voice memos (above system applications), delete everything except the SYNC folder. And all your voice memos are gone!
Took about 3-5 minutes.
Don't ever say a Muslim didn't help you out
