Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
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?
I can't delete more than one file at a time from any folder.
Same here... Something's very wrong here!
I am also having this issue. In addition to the inability to copy out of certain folders.

Hi
I am clearing some files out of folders and Dropbox has started saying too may files to delete. I then have to delete each file individually but still then won't let me delete the folder
Never had this before and it's only recently i.e today this has happened. Is there a change somewhere or a fault online?
Hi guys, thanks for posting here!
Do you still face issues with this? If so, which platform do you use on your end?
Keep me posted!

Hello guys, I hope you're all doing well!
I'd also guess this has to do with the slight issue we're experiencing at the moment. Can you clarify which platform you use when you get this error?
Let me know more!

Which platform???? I am using dropbox, where do I find the "platform"
Hi Megan yes, we are still experiencing issues on Desktop PC.
Thank you
To add to this, specifically, I have tried adding someone to a group. While it shows the member was added to the group from the admin console, the user does not actually have access to the group's folders on his side.
Also, there is a user attempting to login after a password reset that now says "internal server error" when trying to login.
