Bulk File Delete usage

Open a document library on your SharePoint site. Mark the files you want to delete.

Tick the files to delete

You will see four options:

• Whole library (you don't need to preselect files in this case; everything will be deleted, including the empty library)

• All files and folders (you don't need to preselect files in this case; all files and folders will be deleted, and the library will be left epmty)

• Filter (you can apply conditions for deleting files, see how in the "How to apply filters for deleted items" section)

• Selected (the files you've selected will be deleted)

Deleting options

You can keep folders when deleting items; just select the "Keep folders" checkbox.

Keep folders

By default, the option "Delete to recycle bin" is active. You can restore files and folders from the recycle bin. If you need to delete files forever, untick this checkbox. Click "Delete" complete the deletion.

Delete to recycle bin

You can delete files, folders containing items, and subfolders or document libraries. The same actions you can do with list items in SharePoint lists.
