Cannot delete files from Azure storage explorer

Hi, we have some ADLS blob container and folders within it and I need to clear the blobs occasionally when the job fails to pick them up or clear them.

When I try to delete a blob from Azure storage explorer it is not letting me do that. If I do that from Azure portal it does let me delete it but there are 4000 files to delete and its not feasible from UI. Please let me know how to achieve this.

@bokbob please elaborate on what you mean by "When I try to delete a blob from Azure storage explorer it is not letting me do that". In what way is Azure Storage Explorer not letting you delete blob/s?
