Delete multiple folders

Post by WV-Mike »

Greetings,
How can I delete multiple folders?
I can delete folders singly, but when I select multiple folders the "Delete" option in the context menu is not available.
If I choose "Delete" from the File menu no folders are deleted.

Thanks,
WV-Mike

I can select multiple folders here and the context menu shows Delete.
It works.

I am not sure what was going on.
No problem now.

If the issue occurs again:

Please check if the recycle bin full.
Please try emptying your recycle bin.
This issue can occur if the recycle bin is corrupt.

Please try permanently deleting the folders with Shift + Delete.

Please try a forcing rebuild from Tools -> Options -> Indexes.
