Easier way to select multiple edges?

Hi there,

I would like to know if there are easier ways to select multiple edges. For context, my model has many profile lines and I would like to select and suppress them for a better mesh quality.

Something ideal would be to be able to select these lines in a cursor-drawn rectangle.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Please let me know if a shortcut or any easier way is possible to make pre-processing easier.

Regards,

Jess
