Is there a quick and easy way to unpin multiple shortcuts from the start page rather than right click on each one individually?

Are the shortcuts stored in a folder somewhere or something?

I don't have 8 in front of me, but I could have sworn CTRL + click worked.

You don't need to Ctrl-click - just right click each tile and click Unpin to unpin them all.
