I used a different method:
- Open the Master gallery in Explorer view
- Create a Directory named "Delete"
- Cut all the un-wanted Master Pages and paste it inside the "Delete" directoty
- Delete the "Delete" Directory
And you got rid of all the unwanted pages .

THANKSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Saved me a lot of frustration...

Good times, thanks for this.
You can also do this in SharePoint Designer (Much faster than explorer view).
Right Click on the "masterpage", create a new folder, drag pesky files to folder then delete folder.
No way. This is too simple to be true. Thanks!
What if you're wanting to do this at the MOSS level? The Master Page Gallery there doesn't have an Explorer View.
Hi Talleywacker,
When you say MOSS level , did you meant WSS?
You can achieve the same using SharePoint Designer too(worth a try)
To do this at the MOSS level: I had several master pages I was testing with. I could not delete them because of the bug in MOSS 2007. So, I renamed the master page from "abc.master" to "abc.mastex". When I did this I received a message that the page will be unusable. I clicked ok and the master was renamed. Then I deleted it without any problems!
