Hey there

We have a form on our site through which we receive a lot of program applications, owith 2 attachments per application (so there are ~2600 attachments). Is there a way to mass delete attachments submitted to us through forms without deleting the form entries themselves?

Thank you

Form entries are stored in the database. Uploaded files are stored on the server. You can delete files from the server using your server's file manager.

I would test this thoroughly though in case deleting a physical file breaks anything in WordPress.
