   I'm guessing you're tapping a file, so it gets opened.  What if you   
   long-tap the file to see if it gets selected without opening?   
      
   Did a search to find:   
      
   https://youtu.be/Z3CMhtqmPDA?t=61   
      
   Describes long-tapping to get select options.  At the bottom of the   
   screen, there is a "Delete All" button.  After long-tapping a file to   
   select it, you can tap other files, but just tap them.  I don't know how   
   you can select multiple files in Samsung's My File.  In the file manager   
   on my phone, after long-tapping a file, I cannot select multiple files,   
   so I have to [short-]tap other files UNLESS there is a "Select all"   
   button
