Hello,

can't find any check box to select "Select All" on the 'Trash' folder for 'Permanently Deleting' my Creative Cloud files that I have deleted long time ago.

Hope someone knows the trick. This is pretty simple on most platforms: You delete files, they end up in the trash folder, you can select them all, and they will be permanently deleted from you.

IF this is something Adobe hasn't worked out, I hope you will! Don't wanna check my hundreds of deleted files individually...

Thanks!

I think they do this to encourage you to buy more storage instead f easily cleaning out what you already have.

i don't understand why you can't click the first on the page, shift-click the last and then select delete. what folder are you trying to empty?

It's the web interface. You have to click the box next to every file. At least that's my understanding.

It is unbelievable! Seems intentional. Or a very bad joke.

Did you try Shift + Click or Ctrl + Click to select multiple items?

Nancy, this would work hopefully but will not be of much help. As it would still require clicking over each file that is to be deleted, and if someone has lots and lots of files it is just not feasible to click on each of them

I am afraid there is no easy way to do this. See the following discussion on the feature request forum

Do upvote the issue, however looking at the activity on the post i am not very hopeful of it being picked for implementation anytime soon
