I would also very much appreciate, If I could select and delete multible messages in the windows-desktop client. It is very annoying, that one has to do several mouse klicks to delete only one mesage

[tprosche]

I missed the deletion of multiple messages at once since I use Signal Desktop for Windows.
For me it is annoying to have more and more messages, because deleting one by one is cumbersome:

1. Click on the three dots "…"
2. Select "Delete message"
3. Click on Delete (Enter will not work since Cancel button is default selected)
4. Continue with next message and so on

As a result the message pane becomes overcrowded with hundreds of messages. Deleting all is not an option, since some messages are important I want to keep.
Startup time of Signal for Desktop for Windows lasts longer.
