# Work with several items at once

Tick several files and folders, then move them or send them to Trash together from the bar at the foot of the list.

Moving a dozen files one by one is slow. Tick them instead, and a bar appears at the foot of the list that moves or deletes the whole selection in one go.

## Select the items

Tick the checkbox at the start of each row you want. Files and folders can be mixed. In the **Grid** view, the checkbox appears at the top left of a card when you point at it.

## Move or delete them together

- Look at the bar that appears at the foot of the list. Its left end counts what you've ticked, such as **2 selected**; its right end holds the buttons.

- Select **Move** and choose a destination, then **Move here**. Or select **Delete**, then **Move to Trash** to confirm.

Either way the selection clears when the job is done. To give up without doing anything, select the cross at the right-hand end of the bar.

> **Note:**
>
> The bar offers only **Move** and **Delete**. Starring, labelling, sharing and renaming are one item at a time, from each row's own menu.
