Shortcut to Deleting Shortcuts

Recently, I was trying to clean up a received Civil 3D file that had shortcuts with broken links.  I no longer required the shortcuts, so felt ok about deleting them.  I couldn't figure out how to perform a mass delete on the shortcuts for quite a while.  I began the tedious process of deleting the shortcuts one-by-one.  I searched on the internet, but only found someone else asking the same question with no valid response.

I couldn't put myself to continue the process.  I started to click around, when I noticed the entire list being repeated on the lower portion of the Prospector tab (see below).  From here I was able to select the list, right-click and delete.

With the time I just saved performing that task, I was able to document it and share it with anyone having the same difficulty.
Hope this helps.
