    Any and all images from those files are also now showing in the 'Photos' area.

    The Photos page is a special page that shows all of the images throughout your entire Dropbox account. There's no way to disable this or exclude folders from being included.

Can't even 'Select All' as there's no such option.  I have to choose to display this pile of **bleep** I've no use for by year.  Then I can select a year at a time by choosing the check box.  Delete.  "Are you sure you want to delete these 2609 items".  Yes.  "Can't delete 2609 items".  Jesus wept.

Hi JungleT​,

Thanks for posting on the Community Forum and sharing your feedback.

I completely understand the frustration here. Can I ask, were you trying to delete these files on the browser or on the Dropbox application itself? I don't believe the browser can delete more than 1000 files at a time due to performance limitations of browsers but I believe we can identify an area for UI improvement here.

Let me know and we can discuss further!
