    There is no Select All, but you can select one then Shift-click to select another and it will select all in between.

I am trying to delete files. Instructions say to press the ellipses within the file and select delete. However when I press it, it simply disappears. Can anyone help please?

Hi Rob52, welcome to our Community! 

 

If I understand this right, it seems you're using our website, in order to delete your content. Provided this isn't the case, and you're using a different platform, let me know. 

 

When you say that it disappears, are you referring to the "Delete" button? Have you tried a different browser, just to check if the issue is browser-related? 

 

Keep me posted!
