Selective delete

I can't figure out how to delete multiple things at once. Deleting one thing at a time is a painful task especially when I want to delete more than 30 items. Appreciate any help. Cheers!

Hi there!

My files were set to recent which showed files that were both mine or had been shared with me. This turned out to be the problem and once setting to 'Yours', I am able to delete multiple files at a time. Thank you for the help. Have a good day!

Thanks for confirming this! You're right. Files under the Recent and Shared with You options cannot be deleted. However, you can leave the file under the 'Shared with You' option. And lastly, as you figured, the bulk delete option is available only for your files.

Hey @Toby34668259w1aa, Welcome to our Adobe Express Community! 

 

Can you please specify where and what you are trying to delete?
If you're referring to files under the 'Your Stuff' section, try selecting the first file, holding down the Shift key, and clicking the last file to select all. Once selected, you can delete them together.

 

If you're referring to assets used in the editor window, you can use the mouse to multi-select the assets and then delete them. You can also do so by selecting the layers from the right side of the layer panel.

 

Let us know if this helps.

Best!

    Hi there!

    I'm trying to delete some files under 'Your Stuff' and I am able to select the ones I want, but am unable to find the delete button. (As seen below.) Am I selecting too many, maybe? Appreciate any further help!
