Hi Everybody,
Thanks for your feedback here and for notifying us of this issue. The inability to bulk delete may have been a lingering effect of the earlier outage. It should be resolved at this time. Please let us know if that's not the case.

Have to manually delete each file separately which is time consuming. Always been able to delete multiple files in a folder, until today.

Hello guys, I hope you're all doing well!
I'd also guess this has to do with the slight issue we're experiencing at the moment. Can you clarify which platform you use when you get this error?
Let me know more!

I'm using the Dropbox Web Portal through a Chrome Browser.
If I select a folder I cannot delete it.
If I select 2 files I cannot delete them.If I select a single file within a folder it will delete.

I've had the same error all day. The platform is www.dropbox.com - does anyone know when Dropbox will be functional again?
