How do I bulk delete things in my Art Library - Unable to do so.

Ok...bear with me, as I know this question has been answered many times and I've read them all. Spoiler Alert: None of what I read works for me.. I'm using Chrome by the way. I only have Plus Sub atm. So...I open the art library. If I right click and individual item on the right side bar, I can delete things individually.&nbsp; Easy enough and this works just fine. Assuming I only want to delete a few minor things, this works for me. Unfortunately, I want to delete 200+MB of things. Here-in lies the issue. By left clicking anything in the art library, a new windows pops up called "Recent Uploads" of which I am positive all of you are aware of. I've also seen many posts detailing how to bulk delete items from the art library. In addition, the Folder View section ( 4.1.2) on this page:&nbsp;<a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Art_Library#Folder_View" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Art_Library#Folder_View</a>&nbsp; states this:&nbsp; Clicking on an image in the Recent Upload list, an image in a folder, or on a folder/subfolder name, will open up a new window displaying larger thumbnails of available subfolders and all images contained within the selected folder (In Recent Uploads, it will show all uploaded images sitting at Root). In this view you have the ability to do several batch actions like mass deletion, mass selection, and mass image relocation. This is where you can also add and remove Tags to images. First Problem: &nbsp;no new windows show up when clicking on an image in the Recent Uploads window displaying a larger thumbnail. Nothing pops up at all. The only thing that happens in the image in recent uploads gets a light blue opaque overlay to it. Second Problem: &nbsp;Right clicking on any asset in the Recent Uploads window doesn't bring up any drop down menus, and does not give any indication on how to delete one item at a time or even delete in bulk, FROM the Recent Uploads window itself. I've read numerous posts regarding this issue as well as details on how to delete items in bulk, and many of them indicate that a popup window appears to allow bulk deletion. I don't see this at all happening. Right clicking anything in my Art Library from the Recent Uploads window does nothing at all. Reducing the Recent Uploads window size and right clicking again, again produces no effect. In fact, I cannot seem to do anything at all except rename art aspects within the Recent Uploads window (left clicking on the name and retyping it). I've got 200+MB of art assets sitting in my art library from 4 years ago. I don't want them there. They are not in folders. They cannot be grouped up. They can only, it seems, be deleted one single asset at a time, from the right hand window list, before opening the Recent Uploads window. This is tedious, and frankly, extremely unintuitive in design. Please tell me there is an actual solution to this issue. Please tell me I can access my Art Library OUTSIDE of the Roll20 table so I can more quickly rid myself of these useless assets that I have no intention of using any more. And just as a reminder, this response from another post regarding this issue: If you go to your art library and select one of the images within it, it'll bring up a blue marquee that wraps around it and brings up a new window that allows you to select multiple images at once to add or remove tags to the entire selected group. You also have the option to select all or deselect all currently loaded images in the library. If you select all of them, you can delete all that's selected. This does not work for me what-so-ever. There is no new window that pops up and there is no option shown to select all or deselect all currently loaded images in the library and there definitely is nothing that indicates the ability to delete anything that selected, from inside the Recent Uploads window.

Breaking this down to as simple as I can for a step by step method. Go into your game and click on the art library tab click on my library click on one of your images in the recent library. That should pull up a pop window showing all your uploaded art. If you are not getting this, make sure you are using chrome or firefox and do not have any popup blocker extensions active. If you have one of these or using a non officially supported browser, it will take longer to help you. If you have everything correct and get the popup window showing your Recent Uploads then just click on a handful (try not to go over 20) art assets (they will be highlighted in blue) then right click and choose delete selected. That should remove the selected assets. Is this what you are doing? Just want to be sure that I'm understanding your steps.
Hi there, thank you for the reply. I am using Chrome. I do not have any addons that block popups. Your picture, that shows the tiny popup window with Select All and Delete Selected do not exist for me. It does not exist if I left click or right click. I thought I mentioned this in my post in some form or another. I can take a pic if you like, but it won't do you any good. I can see many assets in the Recent Uploads window and selecting them does not give me any other options to do anything with them.

Do you have any running at all?&nbsp; I don't think a popup blocker would affect a right click dialogue, though I could be wrong on that.&nbsp;&nbsp; You could try a private session which should disable all your addons.&nbsp; You could also install Firefox, since that is the other supported browser, and use that to totally eliminate a possible issue with your Chrome setup. Normal troubleshooting steps are here:&nbsp; <a href="https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045655014-Reporting-a-Bug#h_4d8e699f-ee97-4272-b021-43c40f38349f" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045655014-Reporting-a-Bug#h_4d8e699f-ee97-4272-b021-43c40f38349f</a> I assure you that right click dialogue is there.

At this point this matter should be repeated in the bug forums and not specific use. There is an issue happening and I'm not sure what. They should be getting the right click menu but they are indicating they are not. I'm not a moderator anymore and do not have any links handy so I'm going to suggest to repost this issue in the bug forums so that it will catch some eyes there.
