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

Remember everyone

Microsoft and one drive is pure Cancer

I can't wait until the EU regulation gets involved

one drive is not a backup its a SYNC

you've misled customers for so long to push you **** product on people to try to make sure they go over there allocated allowance and therefore have to pay for space

Remeber when they said that hotmail was free with unlimited storage, and then out of nowhere they suddenly made it so that your email attachments only had 5GB instead of using the 15GB that you get with outlook.

Microsoft doesn't do anything by mistake.

There is nothing it does for the customer - everything is about juicing their money making cash machine.

I suspect why they've done this, is that the recycle bin, probably goes against your allowance for data - so by making sure that you've got data in your drive, they hope it becomes closer to the fact that you have to pay.

Microsoft Sucks, their whole business model is horrible

What about all these people volunteering time helping Microsoft with free tickets and support - when they literally don't give a **** about these people whatsoever.

This iPhone solution no longer works. I have lots of stuff up there due to development I was doing and writing out files and kept deleting as I found bugs. Now there are thousands of files stuck up there for what, 30 days? Silly.

There should be an option, like in the OS to just empty recycle bin. They can pop a warning if they want to confirm. Standard stuff here, come on.

While I'm certain Microsoft doesn't care about my opinion, I'd still like it voiced here. As a long time IT professional, MS' lack of attention to such a basic need/request by so many indicates that MS isn't listening to its customers. The simplicity of including a mechanism to empty the recycle bin seems like a junior first year programmer could spend 30 minutes fixing that code (I'm sure that comment will be disputed). Instead the bizarre work arounds and methodologies that have to be followed (use your iPhone?, select 1 delete it and the hurry to select fifty more before the button disappears? go to buy more storage - isn't that why I'm trying to empty the recycle bin? ... etc etc...) has this one un-influential customer seriously reconsidering the whole MS subscription choice. I realize in 30 days it will be purged (according to MS and the myriad of emails I get when I delete multiple old files....), but as demonstrated by a lot of customers, they can't/don't want to wait and need the recycle bin emptied now.... At the moment, when I want to empty my Trash/Recycle bin on Google Drive (btw, free 15GB per account) works perfectly without question regardless if I'm on my phone, Windows, Linux or macOS PC. The same thing can be said about iCloud, iDrive, Dropbox and a myriad of other cloud storage solutions. Such a simple and basic functionality not working (and worse, not being addressed by the vendor...) demonstrates Microsoft's commitment to the customer post the sale of the subscription.

Thank you for this, this worked for me. Can't believe Microsoft would remove something this basic.

I agree, but that's the point -- It's deliberately bad deletion/space management UI so that more people pay for extra space.
