Bulk Move Plugin

Bulk Move Plugin allows you to move posts in bulk from one category, tag or custom taxonomy to another.
This Plugin also allows you to disassociate posts from a certain category, tag or custom taxonomy.

If you looking for deleting posts or users in Bulk, instead of just moving them, then use Bulk Delete Plugin instead.
