Delete option disappears when selecting multiple files

Hi,

While organizing my files in Adobe Express, I noticed an inconsistency in the file management experience.

When I select a single file, the Delete option is available.

However, as soon as I select multiple files, the Delete option disappears and the only action available is Copy to.

I'm not sure whether this is the intended behavior or a UI issue. If it is intentional, I'd like to suggest adding a bulk delete option when multiple files are selected. Having to delete assets one by one becomes very time-consuming, especially when working with a large number of files.

A bulk delete action would make organizing projects and managing storage much more efficient.

Thanks!

    Hi ​@Raquel Glitter! Thanks for reporting this and for the detailed description.

    I tried to replicate the same workflow on my end, and the Delete option is appearing as expected when selecting multiple files.

    Could you try the same workflow in an Incognito/Private window or a different browser and see if the behavior persists?

    If you're still unable to delete multiple files, please share:

    • Browser and version
    • Where in Express you're selecting the files (Your Stuff, Home, folder, etc.)
    • Whether the selected files are all your own files or include shared content
    • A screenshot or screen recording showing the available options when multiple files are selected

    This will help us determine whether the issue is specific to your setup or needs further investigation.

    Hi Amitej, thanks for your reply.

    I tested it in an incognito window in Google Chrome, which is the browser I normally use, and I can confirm that exactly the same thing happens. However, I’ve found that the issue is resolved only when accessing the files through one specific route.

    I can’t delete multiple files when I access them through:

    Home → Recent files → View all
    https://express.adobe.com/your-stuff/files/recent?filter=express

    It also doesn’t work when I go to Your stuff and the URL is:

    https://express.adobe.com/your-stuff/files?sortField=lastAccessed&sortOrder=ascending&filter=express

    However, if I click Your stuff again, the URL changes to:

    https://express.adobe.com/your-stuff/files

    And from this route, the Delete option does appear when I select multiple files.

    So it seems that bulk delete is working, but its availability depends on the route used to access Files.

    The incognito test reproduces exactly the same behavior.
