Delete shared links in bulk
Dropbox you are killing me... you give me notifications that we have hundreds of links shared, but no bulk way to remove them.
What's worse? While I can delete the thousands that I made over the last 3 years, I CANNOT DELETE FOR TEAM MEMBERS WHO HAVE LEFT.
If you give me the warning there is a security issue of shared links, then have a quick resolution for it.

Hi rachminion - thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.
Just to clarify, when you say you can't delete links from team members that have left the team, are those members active in the team (occupying licenses) or are they removed now?
If it's the latter, did you transfer the content of those deleted team members to you to see if you can disable the links that way?
When it comes to deleting shared links in bulk, you can post your feature request in the Ideas area following these tips and make it as clear as possible so that other users can find it, up-vote it and share their own thoughts as well.
Keep us posted!

Hi - not only did I delete the team members and their license, but all content was transferred to me. There are thousands of links that my former team members created. I can see them. I can't do anything about it in the shared section of links. I was instructed by support to manually remove each file then add it back in. That seems insane and a ton of work for thousands of files.
