Hello I have a bunch of videos in my downloads area and feel like a complete idiot, because i can not find a bulk delete feature. Can anyone help me with this. We have 2025, a new plex app, and i can not delete more than one file at once? Really?

Sorry to confirm this is the current functionality of the app until Plex can prioritise a fix. Quite a few threads about it, including one recently from a Plex employee that confirmed Downloads improvements are under active discussion. I find it’s simpler to delete the app after a while, rather th…

One by one, no other option. Unbelievable.

if you delete the app and then reinstall it, it will delete all your downloads all at once, and if that’s your goal it’s about 1000x faster

Is there an ETA? I’m at a crossroads, I’ve been a loyal Plex lifetime subscriber for over a decade, and have persuaded countless others to join also.

It is very frustrating, the most stressing for me is that there is no easy way to find out what the next episode in a TV series you should watch and that it can’t keep the watched status in sync with the server (ple…

It’s not so much that the feature is broken it’s more that zero thought or consideration has been given to it’s functionality with lossing more and more features with each update, and what’s even more annoying is that when I started using Plex on my commute it had all the functionallity required to …

Some progress outlined here, currently in Beta. From Download / Completed you can Delete or Retry all downloaded content From Downloads / In Progress Delete or Retry all items that are currently downloading Delete or Retry all items that are queued Looking forward to seeing grouping by Sho…

Hi folks, I am working on a Plex Server maintainance tool. If there’s any interest, I think the following could potentially be done: check an account/server for the list of devices with sync/download items. after choosing a device, a list of what the server thinks is sum of synced/download items c…
