Error message when deleting folders

[Danette5]

I have used Dropbox for years and have never had this problem. I'm cleaning up my files and when I try to delete a folder I get this message:

There are too many files in one request. Please retry with fewer files.

What has changed? How do I go about deleting my folders?

And shortly after we replied the status page was updated with an issue.

I see that, thanks. I will keep an eye out on this.

I'm getting the same and there aren't any files in the folder. I'm also struggling to copy a template folder which does have subfolders. Dropbox has been playing all day me in the UK today.

This has just happened to me as well. Selecting individual folders for deletion does not work - any folder, even entirely empty ones, throw this error.

This is a change made in the last couple of hours - I have uploaded and deleted two nearly identical folders today. Only the second one refused to delete.

I have to delete each file separately, even when only two in a folder.  Never happened before, but very irritating. 

[DSULZINGER]

Have to manually delete each file separately which is time consuming.  Always been able to delete multiple files in a folder, until today.

Same here:

"There are too many files in one request. Please retry with fewer files."

I'm getting the same error today....annoying.

"There are too many files in one request. Please retry with fewer files."

Mine just says "Couldn't delete two items"

The status page is currently reporting degraded performance, so it could be related to that. I'd wait until the status page reports all clear and then try again.
