My dropbox file is an organized mess. I want to delete all of the files and upload the active files thereby restructuring.
Hey, Jay - Thanks for the answer. I'd like to maintain the files. Where can I bank them once I've deleted them from the Dropbox app? Or is this where you say, dummy, you just deleted them.

This doesn't work. Why does Dropbox make it so RIDICULOUSLY difficult to delete files? Oh, that's right, because if our Dropbox account fills up, we have to pay for, or pay for more storage.

Yes it does work.
If it isnt working for you you need to tell us why, whats happening at the errors etc.
what a useless platform, its 2025 and you cannot delete all files at once. Leaving ASAP. Joke of a product
Hey @ruglove - thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.
Can you please clarify if you're referring to the Dropbox website or maybe the Dropbox desktop or mobile app?
If you could also elaborate on the issue you're having and/or what's troubling you, it'd be very helpful.
Thank you.
To address @ruglove's point.
If you want to delete as many files as quickly as possible, the Dropbox Desktop app is going to be your best bet, assuming everything is synced. Dropbox web and mobile will be a bit of a slower process.
On that same note, a quick reminder that Dropbox only keeps deleted files for 30 days. Use the trash bin wisely 😅
