If i want to totally delete and redo a large area is there a hotkey or something i can do to delete an entire area rather than right click on each item to recover it into my inventory? Thx!

[Control]+[Z] works now. It rolls back your last construction actions one by one, so if you've slammed some XLR sized blueprint at the wrong place - it'll undo exactly this blueprint and nothing else.
Second option is a big red button called Deconstruction planner.
It indiscriminately marks everything for deconstruction so your spare construction bots would wipe everything in an area.

Or just Ctrl-X to initiate cut&paste, select the area, and don't paste the cut entities back by clearing the cursor (default shortcut 'Q').

Does it put the items back in your inventory?

If you have a personal roboport then yes, otherwise the bots put them in a storage chest.

Construction bots and a deconstruction planner. Nuclear bombs. Removing defenses and letting biters do the work.
