My download file is huge. How can I delete several at one time?

Hi diane,


Go into the Finder and click on the Downloads folder. Then hold down the Shift key, and click the down arrow key to select multiple files. Once they are selected, click on File in the top menu, then click on Move to Trash.


Cheers,


GB

To delete several files at the same time, open a Finder window and go to the folder where you have got the files you need to delete. Then, hold the Command key and choose the files you want to delete, and finally, drag them to the Trash. Finally, empty Trash.


If you want to delete all the files on a folder, simply go to that folder, press Command and A keys and drag them to the Trash
