Can we delete more than 1000 files in one go?

Hey tc19, thanks for your suggestion. 

Do you mind clarifying which Dropbox platform you’re referring to exactly? Are you talking about the Dropbox website/mobile app/desktop app?

If you’re getting an error while selecting a large number of files and trying to delete them, feel free to send me a screenshot of it, as well.

Keep me in the loop.

Hi Nancy, Thanks for responding so quickly.

I am referring to the Dropbox website. When I select "All Files" and then choose a large number of files (more than 1000) to download that is not a problem When I then want to delete the same files that I downloaded the Delete option is disabled.

Hi Nancy,

See this screen shot for reference.

Hi Nancy, 

Also, when I hover over the disabled Delete options I get this:

Hi Neal,

Thanks for replying. Yes, I am trying to delete more than 1000 files via the browser interface.

I'll give it a go from the desktop app when I have a chance, but I'd still prefer if the browser interface allowed me to do the same.

Hi tc19​,

I completely understand but I believe it's actually a performance limitation of web that is the issue.

Let me know how you get on!

Hey tc19 - did you get the chance to try this out from the desktop app instead of the web? 

Yes, that would be really helpful. Deleting more than 1000 files at once would save a lot of time!
