When deleting files in the "deleted files" area, how do you select "all" ?

When deleting files in the "deleted files" area, how do you select "all" without clicking on each individual one?

    There is no Select All, but you can select one then Shift-click to select another and it will select all in between.

I am trying to delete files. Instructions say to press the ellipses within the file and select delete. However when I press it, it simply disappears. Can anyone help please?

    Hi Rob52, welcome to our Community! 

     

    If I understand this right, it seems you're using our website, in order to delete your content. Provided this isn't the case, and you're using a different platform, let me know. 

     

    When you say that it disappears, are you referring to the "Delete" button? Have you tried a different browser, just to check if the issue is browser-related? 

     

    Keep me posted!
