Ability to erase folders, and large selections of media files at once
So in learning the ropes of the service and beginning to work on my first campaign, I was messing around with uploading media files, and I uploaded way more than I meant to. I also had begun to move pictures out of the main campaign folder and into another one I made before I realized that the process would take a REALLY long time to do for all the pictures. I've also noticed that there doesn't seem to be a way to delete the folder I made, which could be an alternative way to delete pictures by the boatload.
It would be REALLY helpful to be able to erase folders, and bulk select pictures to be moved or deleted en masse. Fortunately I just started on the campaign, so it won't take me long to just start it over, which is what I'm going to do. But if something like this were to have happened after having spent a long time on it first it would be very frustrating.
Howdy, Stranger!

I just tested this, it is possible to delete folders in your media library. At least, you can if you're Ascendant.

Really? I do have an Ascendant account. I looked everywhere for some kind of delete button, tried using the delete key, etc. How did you manage it? What operating system / browser are you using?
Can you bulk select and move files around though? That's really the more crucial thing. Deleting a folder would have been an alternative way to bulk delete files, which I couldn't seem to do. Which is why I had the idea of just deleting the folder they were in.
To delete a folder there should just be a trashcan icon to the right of the folder in your media library:
I'm using Chrome, Version 125.0.6422.77, in Windows 10.
As for bulk deleting files that are not all conveniently located in a single folder, that doesn't appear to be possible.

Hi GBGMD!
Thank you for letting us know about the bulk deleting idea! We've added to this our feature requests.
Can you see the delete icons that Abersade pointed out?
Yup - sorry for the delayed reply. For whatever reason they weren't showing before but I started a new campaign and everything seems to be in order. Thanks for listening to the idea about bulk selection :)
Fantastic to hear that! And of course, absolutely!
