I have filters that add stars to various messages before moving them to one of over 100 local folders. Can I create a single manually run filter to eventually delete all of them, regardless of which folder they were put into? Thank you.

Filters only work on a single folder. It might be easier to create a Classic Search (Ctrl+Shift+F) on Local Folders and subfolders like the one in the picture and then press Delete.
