[Files] Delete Multiple Files Quickly

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas LMS

Problem statement:

Delete multiple files quickly

Proposed solution:

Hi, I would like to clean up the files folder which has many files from previous semesters. I would like a checkbox in front of each file and a check all option at the top, so I choose the whole lot, uncheck only what I need for this semester, and delete the rest in one go. I would like the same for announcements too. Add a "check all" box.
