Remove multiple files from Fabric Lakehouse

Hello - is there a way to delete multiple files from lakehouse without using notebook script?

Right now I need to click on every file and remove each manually.

Thanks,

Michal

Hi mkulikowski ,

Thanks for using Fabric Community.
Unfortunately there isn't a direct way to delete multiple files from the Fabric Lakehouse UI currently.

But I can suggest an alternative way from which you can delete multiple file, i.e. Delete Data Activity iN Fabric Data Pipeline.

Docs to refer -
Delete data activity - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
Delete Old Files from Lakehouse using Data Pipeline

Hope this is helpful. Please let me know incase of further queries.

It does not allow to leave the directory empty and I have my files in the root folder.

Nothing seems to work here

Documentation also mentions for example 'Dataset' which I don't have as per screenshot.
