What changed with Halloween 2014 update (thanks to TSTOTopix and mrfy)

I wish there was a way to permanently delete items from my inventory, like the castle walls from CoC. I need the space for my upcoming Halloween booty and quite frankly CoC left me cold, other than the paying buildings I don't want any of it.

In fact I have lots of stuff from past events jammed into my inventory that I will never use. Can't we please just delete unwanted stuff and move on? That would be great...
