The only controls are a little 'hamburger' menu that lets me view 'Docs', 'Sheets', or 'Slides', open a Settings page, get Help, or visit Drive, and some icons to switch between tiled and list views, change the sort order, or open the file picker, and an icon to create a new file.

There's no 'inbox', there's no opportunity to 'select' multiple files. It's not a problem with Google Drive, and the files in question don't show up there at all.

Please stop trying to 'solve' this problem for me on Google Drive. Although I don't think its possible till now by using any other tricks. So, if there's someone what can help with this I do want to know its answer. I really only want to keep a handful of the documents, and I'd even be able to live with it if they had to go, too, but I'm finding Docs to be pretty useless with all the noise. Nope, still selecting multiple files over the Google Drive app isn't possible, maybe in future you can expect the feature coming but not in upcoming weeks. That's an experience I'm not interested in having. The only way I can see to remove them is one at a time, which takes maybe 10-15s each. I have about a hundred docs in my Google Docs view, most of which are junk - they were apparently shared by some other user, and I really don't want them. This has been asked and answered before, but the answers are for the old interface (predating Google Drive), so I'm asking again.
