Delete unused files in a folder when a deleting a folder that contains one or more files in use Merged

Today if you want to delete a folder that contains 100.000 files that are not in use, but 1 file is in use by a lab profile then you must select and delete 100.000 files one by one - a hopeless mission.


  1. Allow multi-select of files including holding down shift to select ranges

  2. If deleting a folder, delete all files not in use by lab profiles/VM profiles and leave files that are in use.

Who would most benefit from this idea? Lab Developers or Lab Authors
