No more option to delete all files from my onedrive recycle bin

I can't empty anymore my onedrive recycle bin at once, when i select all the files in the onedrive recycle bin the option "delete" is no more presented, only the option "restore" is.

If I empty it thru the "manage storage" page and the "empty recycle bin" hyperlink, files are still there even hours later.

The only option is select a single file at a time and use the 3 dots menu where the option "delete" is presented. But as this is file by file, this is of course completely unefficient and therefor unacceptable.

I just find out that i can select maximum 50 files to delete them all at once. Starting from 51, the option disappears... Unbelievable?!

    Select the top item then scroll down to about 50 items and hit shift and click the 50th item and the delete button will come up. You can't delete everything at once.

    I do not have the button as described. My button is just an offer to buy more storage.

    Hi. I have the same issue. I discovered files must be selected and deleted individually or in batches. I was able to select up to 50 files at a time and delete them. What a chore.
