      summary: Grafana Mass Delete Annotations
      description: The Mass Delete Annotations API operation in Grafana allows users to delete multiple annotations in a single request by sending a POST request to the /annotations/mass-delete endpoint. This operation is useful for bulk cleanup of annotations based on specific criteria such as time range, dashboard ID, panel ID, tags, or annotation IDs. Instead of deleting annotations one by one, users can specify filter parameters in the request body to target multiple annotations at once, improving efficiency when managing large numbers of annotations across dashboards and panels. The operation requires appropriate permissions and returns information about the number of annotations successfully deleted.
