# Batch Move and Delete

Checkboxes are available on the left side of the file list. After you select at least one operable file, the page displays the batch operation bar and shows the number of selected files.

## Batch Move

1. Select one or more files.
2. Click **Move** in the batch operation bar.
3. Select the target folder in the directory tree.
4. Click **Save** to save the move result.

## Batch Delete

1. Select one or more files.
2. Click **Delete** in the batch operation bar.
3. Check the number of files to be deleted in the confirmation dialog.
4. After confirming that everything is correct, submit the deletion.

Some system folders, external data source files, or files from special sources cannot be selected or cannot perform certain batch operations. This is normal behavior caused by permission and source controls.
