Hi @Adam_Freedman - great #feedback

We do have the option to manually label images as “Null” or [delete annotation batches](https://help.roboflow.com/deleting-annotation-batches). Deleted batches do retain annotations, however (unless they are completely deleted from the project).

- [The Labeling Interface - Roboflow](https://docs.roboflow.com/annotate/the-labeling-interface)

We have received this feature request recently from a few others (to mark all images as Null - for context to others that see this post: this is what we discovered was the true need on our in-app chat conversation).

- [The Difference Between Missing and Null Annotations](https://blog.roboflow.com/missing-and-null-image-annotations/)

I just relayed your request to our Product team as well.

So, is there a way to mark all images in a upload batch as null annotated? I’ve tried to upload corresponding empty .txt files and even that don’t work.
