Leslie and DL (sorry, but I don't feel comfortable addressing anyone as "daddylove"):
If you right click and hit "delete" it appears that you can only delete one order at a time.
If you select them as I described and hit the radio button "Completed (There are no results pending)" then you can erase a large number at one time.
With this approach you can delete orders by date range or older than X months.
Not commenting on the value of the orders section; it has not been useful in the past, but maybe it will become more so. Deleting all or a large number of old orders at least allows you to get a "fresh start".
