Delete all files on cloud

Is there an easy way of deleting all the files on the cloud. Lightroom CC has been a disappointment for me and I am going to try a more manual way of handling my files where I will try and preserve my directory structure. But first I want to empty the cloud of everything. I have over 30,000 files and I have had placeholders created for these overnight when I left the computer running. At the moment all I see is the option of selecting them one by one and deleting them, which is not feasible.

      Yes, there is a way. Go to http://lightroom.adobe.com, then click on the Lightroom icon in the top left corner and choose "Account Info". You'll see an option labelled "Delete Lightroom Library" which will delete everything from the cloud.

      No, it does not delete local photos. When you relaunch Lightroom CC, you'll get a message about a new catalog being made locally but all your original images will still be there.
