    Hi Everybody,

     

    Thanks for your feedback here and for notifying us of this issue. The inability to bulk delete may have been a lingering effect of the earlier outage. It should be resolved at this time. Please let us know if that's not the case.

     

    Thanks,

    Ben

I have the same problem.  I have been having this problem all day.  Usually the attempt to move any files times out and it does not move.  Once I got a message that I was not allowed to move a folder because it was shared, except it isn’t shared.
