How do i delete multiple files from my documents

How you select them depends on what they have in common. Once selected, the rest is easy. To select a contiguous block of files, click the first file in the block. Then hold down the Shift key as you click the last file in the block. This will select not only those two files, but everything in between. Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow.

When you no longer need documents, pictures, files, or folders in a library, you can quickly delete them. Be careful that no one else needs them either, and that the files are all checked in.

Deleting files may be permanent and you may be unable to recover them. If you think that you might need the files later, consider moving the files to another location instead. If you delete files by mistake, see Restore items from your Recycle Bins below. You may be able to restore your files to the library depending on how your site was set up. If a file has an arrow overlaid on the icon, it is being shared.

If you haven't checked it out, hover over the icon to see who has it checked out, and ask for it to be checked in before deleting. See Check out, check in, or discard changes to files in a library for more info. Make sure the files that you want to delete are not checked out by refreshing the browser and noting the icon in the Type column. Files must be checked back in by the person who checked them out before you can delete them.

Select each file that you want to delete by hovering over the file and then clicking the checkmark. Depending on the version of SharePoint you're using, it may be quicker to delete single or multiple files using the right click menu. Select one or more files that you want to delete by hovering over the file and then clicking the check box. In SharePoint you can select files and folders together, but in SharePoint you need to select them separately. If you're deleting just one file or folder, you can skip this step.
