Imported a design to check spacing on another part. Reset my spacing easily, but, when I tried to delete the design that was imported only some of the design was deleted. The Mesh Bodies were curved and I could only delete little portions at a time. Hopefully there is a faster method to delete the imported design while leaving the original design alone.

Hey @Certified606,  
You can either use Items panel to select the imported folder or Area select to select objects by lasso.
