Could there be a way to delete items in a field collection using VBO (Views Bulk Operations)?

I am running into a situation where there are a number of field collection items that need to be deleted and it would be very handy to do this within a view.

When I try this, however, I get the following error:

An AJAX HTTP error occurred.
HTTP Result Code: 200
Debugging information follows.

Is this a feature request, or is it a bug that using VBO delete produces an error?

Thanks.

You got HTTP 200, that's not an error. It usually happens if you're trying to execute VBO from inside Views Preview, or have a library / theme causing disruptions.

Does anyone has a successful method ro mass remove items? Is VBO suitable?
