When deleting files in the "deleted files" area, how do you select "all" ?

When deleting files in the "deleted files" area, how do you select "all" without clicking on each individual one?

There is no Select All, but you can select one then Shift-click to select another and it will select all in between.

Hi Rich,
Took me a minute to respond because I was waiting for some files to appear in the Delete section. I just used your technique and I'm amazed and elated to see that it works GREAT! I've been trying to figure this out for a long time. I contacted Dropbox and they didn't tell me this. Thank you so much. I work from home so I depend on my system a lot but I'm not "tech-oriented" and I admire those that are. Usually calls I make to tech supt companies that I pay for the service last hours and still may result in no solution. I'm glad I joined the community and I will visit again if I encounter a problem. HAGD! ☺
