No, they won't remain - at least from what I see.

Yesterday I deleted a bunch of newspapers from the Cloud Drive and they are no longer present at MYK site and "Cloud" tab on my Kindle Voyage.

What's more - they will remain on the Cloud Drive in some kind of a trash bin ("Deleted" folder), so they can be restored. I still see the files I deleted in 2014.

Hi, guys
Almost a year later and Amazon yet again has changed things.
1. All these bookmarklets no longer work
2. Amazon's clouds is no longer connected with kindle documents, therefore deleting documents from there won't delete from Kindle Cloud.
In the light of these changes, any other ideas how to go around that terrible 10-docs-max limitation for a library that contains thousands of thousands of docs?

PS: can't even do a multiple selection with a Shift key, jesus christ, who the -ef does that.

There is a reason for the 10 limit. That is because you can also send them to a device. For years it was limited to one.
I know a person that spent several months cleaning hers out when it was 1 at a time.
What I don't like is if you delete or send to a device, it takes you to the beginning every time. Real pain if you have 10,000 + books.

Wasn't there a trick whereby you did open in new tab ?


Also, if you have a Fire it allows delete from cloud maybe more than 10 at a time ?

Not that I found.
Deleting from the cloud is a max of 10 at a time.
I tried on the fire, a computer and a tablet.
After the first 500 I decided the cloud isn't worth messing with.
Note these are all Amazon purchased books.
I even put in a complaint with Amazon.

Doubtful Amazon is going to change anything. It would be too easy to accidentally remove books you didn't intend to remove and then people would complain about that. If you want to clean out your library you may as well just get started. Even if Amazon does decide to give you more options it would be months if not years away.
