Option to select all duplicates for multiple files

When there are a large number of files, we should be able to select them all at once and delete them. Currently, we need to select them one by one and delete each one individually.

This is time-consuming and would be very easy to implement.

    In a list with many different files, this can be tiresome. Having to open the dropdown and select each image. It would be nice to have an option to select all duplicates and delete them.

    Hi Barroz, thanks for contacting us.

    Currently, you have the option to select which duplicate file you would like to delete from your account, when you select one of the files out of the two or more duplicates.

    Are you looking for an option to delete all files, regardless of whether or not they're a duplicate? 

    Could you clarify how you would like this to work on your end?

    This will help me to assist further!
