There
are many purposes for which we have to select multiple items in Windows 10, for
copying, moving, or deleting multiple items at a time.
To
copy, move or delete a number of files in a folder, most of the people will hold
down the Ctrl key and select them using the mouse button.
However,
it’s all too easy to accidentally click the wrong files, especially if you’re
viewing them as file names rather than large icons. There’s an easier way that
involves using your keyboard instead of your mouse.
To
do this, hold the Ctrl key and select the first file with your mouse in the
normal way. But instead of using the mouse to highlight the other files, keep
the Ctrl key held down, use arrow keys to move to the next file, then press
Space to select it.

If
you accidentally select a file you don’t want to include, return to it using
the arrow keys, then press Space again.
You
need to hold down the Ctrl key at all times while selecting files. If you
release it and select another file, your previous selection will be lost.
