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?!

    Man, from my experience when these "experts" star their reply with: Hi my name is, Thank you for reaching out, I am here to help" and all that **** their reply won't be that helpful at all. I don't get why they go trough all that blsht. I don't care what your name is, I can see it next to you post. Just say what you have to say. ffs

    I'm not familiar with Chromebooks. I posted a Windows keyboard shortcut in my last reply.

    i tried this as well but it never gives a delete option just restore.

    I have a chromebook so right click is an art form but since restore pop up i know i clicked right.

    I am going to rip my hair out
