My team does a lot of work in subtasks, and we use the “delete subtasks” functionality regularly. We noticed this morning that there’s no option to bulk-delete subtasks, as it was changed to "delete task”. This is causing a lot of manual work and time. Will Asana be bringing back the “delete subtask…

Welcome, @Thea_Soukup , I agree and voted! I also changed the title to phrase as what a vote for this is asking for; hope that’s ok. @Forum-team , Can you let us know if this is a mistake (we hope), an A/B test, or an unannounced change rolling/rolled out?
