I don’t see where the problem is? You search for the files to be deleted, there must be a way to do that in Windows Explorer and then you select and delete them.

Like you said in the steps to reproduce, but then you did not say what is not working (?)…

Hi Erik,

Thanks for your reply.

My problem is I wanted to delete the files directly from OwnCloud.

Is this possible? If so, please describe how.

This is not possible. The ownCloud client is a sync client, not a file manager. You will have to use your operating system’s file manager to add/remove files.

Note that you can always open the sync folder, when you select your connection in the top bar and click the three dots on the right side. There the first entry says “Open folder”.
