Multi-select and bulk-delete files in the sidebar
The file sidebar already supports building a multi-selection (Ctrl/Cmd-click and Shift-click range select, with a hover preview of the range while Shift is held). What it lacks is a way to act on that selection — specifically to delete several selected files at once without removing them one by one.
Goal: once two or more files are selected in the sidebar, offer a bulk Delete selected action (toolbar button / context menu / keyboard) that removes all selected files in one confirmed operation.
Scope / notes:
- Reuse the existing sidebar multi-selection (Ctrl/Cmd-click, Shift-click range) — no new selection model needed.
- Single confirmation dialog summarising how many files will be deleted.
- Clear the selection and refresh the list afterwards; handle partial failures gracefully.
- Respect the same permissions/guards as single-file delete.
Natural pairing with the email-list multi-select work — keeps bulk actions consistent across the list and the sidebar.
