Artboards in 2018 can no longer be rapidly deleted
In past versions of Illustrator, I was able to click on an artboard and continuously delete artboards until I had to ones that I want. Now when I select an artboard and delete it, the selection is deselected. I now have to continuously highlight and delete, highlight and delete until I have removed all the artboards I need.

Works as it should in the latest versions, deleting a selected artboard (artboards) now selects the one before it (them). Holding Delete key would rapidly Delete these in succession (at least on Windows).

While deleting artboards rapidly works now s it should, I can’t but notice that even when the only artboard is left, the Delete Artboard command and step still fires up and pollutes the History panel. With the only artboard left the command should just do nothing (until Ai team decided to invent the artboardless canvas and break all the things).

This comment was upgraded into a new idea: Delete Artboard should not spam in History when only one artboard remains -

So it's a feature, not a bug. I see.

In Illustrator 2018 you can select multiple artboards, use shift click to select multiple artboards or use shift + drag to select multiple artboards and then press delete key.
