Yes, you can delete multiple files at once in Windows. The simplest way to do this is to hold down the Ctrl key and select each file that you want to delete. Then, simply right-click on one of the files and choose “Delete” from the pop-up menu. All of the files that you had selected will be deleted.
Another way to delete multiple files at once is by using the Command Prompt. To use this method, open the Command Prompt window and type the command del followed by the names or paths of the files you want to delete. For example, if you wanted to delete three files named “file1.txt”, “file2.txt”, and “file3.txt”, you’d type del file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt. Then, press Enter to execute the command.
You can also use the Windows PowerShell to delete multiple files. To do so, open the Windows PowerShell window by typing PowerShell into the Windows search bar, or by navigating to the Start Menu and selecting Windows PowerShell. Then, type the command Remove-Item followed by the names or paths of the files you want to delete. For example, if you wanted to delete the same three files as in the example above, you’d type Remove-Item file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt. Press Enter to execute the command.
Finally, you can delete multiple files using the File Explorer. Open the File Explorer and navigate to the folder containing the files you want to delete. Hold down the Ctrl key and select all of the files you wish to delete. Then, simply press the Delete key on your keyboard. A warning will appear; click Yes to delete the files.
In general, the File Explorer method is the easiest way to delete multiple files at once in Windows. However, it is important to note that Windows limits you to deleting a maximum of 2000 files or folders at a time. Therefore, if you need to delete more than 2000 files, you should use the Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell.
