Cannot delete multiple files at once from the Bin

justaguess
Hi,

I'm on the latest beta (5.0.97-beta.40+952663de7). I'm able to delete individual files, both by right click-> Delete Item and by the delete button. Empty Bin is also working.

But, when I select multiple items are try to delete them, it doesn't work. Both using the mouse and the keyboard. Nothing pops up.

    This is working for me on macOS. Can you provide a Debug ID for an attempt that fails?

    Is this okay?

    Tried a bit more, and it turns out I'm able to delete items if I manually collapse the items and delete.

    OK, got it. This is an old issue that hasn't been fixed. Generally I wouldn't recommend spending much time manually pruning the trash — items are emptied automatically after 30 days by default — but if you do want to, you can press "-" first to collapse items.
