Hey everybody,
since the new update, there is no checkbutton to select all files in the trash of my adobe cloud (online not local - so the files which are already deleted).
So i have to click manually on every file and the permanently delete it out of my creative cloud. Since i have more then a few hundred files i am not going to do that.
Do you know a way how to select all of the files? And why the f**** did adobe delete the possibilty to do so in the new version?
Thanks for your help!

Tis is not a good solution. It takes way too long for the page to load the list of all files when scrolling. I have a 250/250 Mbit connection, and it still loads forever. The page freezes. So that is not a working option.
Why is there not a "Empty trash" button?

these are user-to-user forums and i'm another adobe user like you. i have no ability to change anything related to adobe (and a lot of other things).
if you want to make a suggestion to adobe, do it here https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html

Shift-Select IS NOT A SOLUTION.
It is a clumsy workaround.
Try to delete 85 GB files over slow internet. It takes a day to scroll to the bottom, if 32 GB memory is enough.... as there is also some memory problem.
I sometimes hate Adobe so much.

Agreed. This is not solved. I've been deleting the thousand of so files like this for weeks now....weeks. You can only load so many at a time and the site crashes pretty much after every attempt. I get that Adobe needs to sell more storage but this is not how to do it.

I wrote a script that will delete the deleted files one by one (trying to do multiples introduced to many errors). This can be run from the console in Chrome.
- Navigate to assets.adobe.com/deleted
- Google Chrome
- Mac
- Cmd + Opt + J
- View > Developer > JavaScript Console
- Windows
- Ctrl + Shift + J
- Customize and control Google Chrome (3-vertical-dot icon â‹®) > More tools > Developer tools, then click Console tab
- Mac
- Paste the following code in the console and hit enter. Your browser will loop through deleting the first item until you navigate away.
var intervalID = window.setInterval(myCallback, 500);
function myCallback() {
document.querySelector('.spectrum-Checkbox').click();
document.querySelector('[aria-labelledby="header-action-permanentlyDelete"]').click();
document.querySelector('.spectrum-Button--warning').click();}
If you run into "can't delete" errors, just refresh and re-enter the script.
