Hey there, Marvo, I hope you're doing well! 

 

You mentioned that if you select more than 1K of files the "delete" button greys out. I'm assuming you're referring to the desktop app, right? 

 

There's no automated way to delete all of these 0KB files unless you manually select them, but I'm trying to see why the option disappears when you do. 

 

If you have any screenshots, feel free to send them my way. Thanks a bunch!

    Hi Megan,
    Yes, the desktop app.
    Simply put, I manually select 1,000 files, no problem.
    If I select just one more file, the "Delete" button greys out.

      Would you mind clarifying your OS, along with the Dropbox version you're using on your end?
