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.
Thanks,

I’m trying to delete some files but cannot (I used to be able to do so before).
In the ios app, after selecting delete, there is a loading icon but after it goes away, the files remain. On the website, when I try to delete a file I get an error message saying “couldn’t delete 1 item”.
I own these files, they are uploaded to my folder through my own dropbox app. Until Nov 1st I was able to delete these files so it seems something has changed on the dropbox side.
Any help?
