Does anyone know if multiple nspires can be cleared while they are in the docking station?   The reason I want to know is that I have back to back classes and I would like to clear the calculators between classes especially on test days.

An option in file transfer is to clear calculators in the process.
The dock, by itself, cannot do this, but if the dock is connect to a computer, you can invoke the "clear" option without needing to send a file.

Would that work in your situation?

I tried your suggestion and that does delete all saved file/folders.  Thank you for that.  I will be using this for cleaning up the memory of the calculators.  However, I would also like to clear the memory and unsaved files (graphs, spreadsheets, scratchpad memory, etc.)  that might be left on the handheld from the previous class.   Any ideas there?
 
  I just got these a week ago so I am just learning everything for the first time.

Good observation. Scratchpad and unsaved documents are not deleted/cleared.
That is why I started using Press-toTest

I have been asking the developers (engineering managers and actual programmers) to add total clear of calculator including Scratch pad to the clear from navigator software. It does effectively clears saved and unsaved documents from documents side in my experience.

Hopefully, many of you will call and e-mail TI-Cares to promote this idea of clearing...
