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.

I changed my plan today from annual to monthly. This must be somehow related, like a degrade in service. It seemed like the "delete one file at a time" was working (although highly inefficient), but as one of the other posters indicated, I could not even delete an empty folder.

DropBox stock price is up over 1% today, but that isn't helping us with our (in)ability to delete files and folders.
Time to get a drink.
