how to delete multiple voice memos at once in macos

apple somehow makes this way harder on macos (15) than it should be. after some digging, i found the folder where voice memos stores local recordings. follow these steps to delete all voice memos on mac: open a finder window and press: command + shift + g paste this path: ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.VoiceMemos.shared/Recordings press command + a to select all and move files to trash terminal version: find ~/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.apple.VoiceMemos.shared/Recordings -type f -delete macos may block access the first time. go to: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access enable access for: Terminal and iTerm (if you use it) then restart the terminal app. idk exactly how this behaves if your files are synchronized with icloud, but if your goal is simply to remove all the files from your local machine, this works. tested on macos 15.3.1.
