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?!
A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.

totally agree!
It is not there. And so now my recycle bin is just taking up storage space. It is by design on their part. They just think we are idiots.
the option to delete is not there?
Highlight the files you want to delete, then right-click and select Delete.
the ONLY way I managed, was to login on my ANDROID and delete the bin from there.
There's NO WAY to do this online from a PC, nor iPhone.
Unbelievable, this kind of mess happens on one of the main cloud services everyone uses, not to mention the kind of solution responses here, utter garbage.
I am now moving all my camera backup to another solution, microsoft is obviously not worth this trust.
SHAME !!!
I can confirm this also works with the Android app - it shows a Delete All and it doesn't just hang like the website's version does.
And let me add my voice to all the other complaints - you cannot use the OneDrive website to empty your recycling bin if it has more than 50 items in it. The delete button hides itself, and the option in manage hangs forever. You can find similar complaints going back for years. How is this acceptable?
