I have a basic account. Why can't drop box have a simple drop down to delete all files you don't want once you are in your dashboard and see your files.. Instead of having to spend time trying to figure out how to delete the file. It is possible to do it. Not seeing this features does not motivate me to get the paid version.

Hey @joebuild, I hope you're doing well!

 

If I understand this correctly, it sounds like you wish to delete multiple files at once, right?  If not, feel free to let me know more. 

 

Which platform do you use on your end, when trying to delete content? Do you use our mobile app, desktop app or website? 

 

There should be a box to tick at the left side of each file/folder in question when using the web, through which you'd be able to mark more than one file to delete. 

 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
