How do I delete photos from my Samsung Galaxy S6 after uploading them to Dropbox?

[AC Question]

I have Dropbox on my s6 and on all my computers. I don't want to store photos on my phone after uploading. Obviously I can delete them one at a time from my phone, but does anybody know a way to multiple-select or select-all photos to delete from the phone?
Thank you.

Welcome to Android Central! If you use any file manager app (like the stock My Files app), you should be able to multi-select files to delete. But that can still be pretty tedious if you have hundreds of photos.

I realize that you use Dropbox, but one of the benefits of using Google Photos is that there is a one-click feature for this. In Google Photos, if you tap Free Up Space, it will determine which photos have already been backed up to Google Photos in the cloud, and delete the corresponding photo files on the phone's storage.

Great answer, B. Diddy. I'll use the My Files app for now, and give Google Photos a try later.
