The same warning occurs if you are deleting 1 or 1,000 files so you have to literally answer yes to 1,000 files to be deleted. Surely this cannot be as poorly designed as it seems.

Windows, Windows 6

I've discovered a workaround, at least for if you need to delete a bunch of files at a time and don't want to keep clicking this "yes" box.

Put all files that must be deleted in one folder on iCloud Drive. Then delete the whole folder. You'll only have to approve the action once. Far from a solution to the whole issue, but should make deleting multiple files less painful!
