OneDrive Search Results - Allow "Move" and "Delete" from search results - and Click to go to File Location
When searching for a document, if you find it, you can not delete it, open the folder location, or move the document.
If you select the document from the files list and click on Information Icon, you can't see the full path of where the document is stored only the name of the file. You have to physically open the document, then click on information to see the path. Even then... you have to go back to your Files list and navigate all the way through the folders to find the file and then Move it or delete it.
Please fix!!!
Should be able to click and open the file location so you can move it to a new location or delete it.

Absolutely crazy that when you use search, there is no way to know where the file or folder is in the tree hierarchy!
Please fix. Folder/file info should include the folde/file path and a button to open the folder location -

Yes!! this is incredibly annoying, especially since I drag and dropped all my folders from my hard drive into one drive and several unnecessary temp files went with it. I can't open those to view their locations obviously because they're not actually files!

Another Mac user here. The .DS_store file sync errors are a nightmare. De-syncing and manually deleting them one by one is a nightmare. Crazy you cant bulk move or delete files from OneDrive search. Please add soon.

Please add this feature. A user migrated from a Mac drive and cannot delete the DS_Store files that came along for the ride -- without manually hunting each one down. Thus he continues to see Sync Errors when in fact there's nothing functionally wrong.

Sono mesi e mesi che avevo segnalato i problemi di join al dominio ed accesso locale e che in mancanza di internet il pc era INUTILIZZABILE finalmente forse i tecnici ms hanno risolto. Grazie per avermi bloccato il lavoro per 8 mesi.

file da eliminaere e subito dopo eliminarli. Visto che nessuno leggerà quaste mie osservazioni, devo dire complimenti ai tecbìnici ms che ne hanno fatte di tuutto per complicare un lavoro che sembrava semplice.Avendo un archivio pieno con alert di vuotarlo, mi è impossibile farlo. E' logico che per la pulizia di onedrive la prima operazione da fare è ricercare i

Trying to push this up on the list as without it there seems to be no easy way of managing duplicates. I will assume that I am denser than I should be, so Microsoft, how do accomplish what we are trying to do? All you need to do is add a delete or move button to the search results page.

Nearly one year after the first post - nothing happened.
Really ridiculous -

I search for the word "Conflict" to find duplicate files and it lists them, but not being able to select them all and delete is ridiculous.

PLEASE fix this!!! I have to find each individual file in its folder and delete one at a time!

It's becoming rather astounding to me how many key Microsoft tools completely lack the most basic usage features. Planner doesn't have a Print or an Export function. And now OneDrive doesn't let you Delete files that are retrieved from a Search? This is ridiculous, really.

I agree. What is the point of being able to select a file from the search results if I can't actually do anything with it?
