   Others have already suggested to the OP that the procedure depends on what   
   file explorer he's using, as each may have a different method of selection.   
      
   I've tested every free ad free google-free file explorer ever suggested on   
   this newsgroup, where plenty will allow the OP to select multiple files.   
      
   Even so, perhaps the easiest way to select files is to use the Windows File   
   Explorer GUI, if the OP has access to a Windows PC.   
    a. Plug the phone into the PC   
    b. On the PC, open up the directory on the phone   
    c. On the PC, select & delete the PDF files   
      
   If the OP wants to stay on Samsung, the default behavior of tapping a file   
   often opens it instead of selecting it. Here's how the OP can select and   
   delete multiple PDF files efficiently:   
      
   Use the My Files App   
   a. Open the "My Files" app (Samsung's built-in file manager).   
   b. Navigate to Internal Storage > Other (or wherever the PDFs are stored).   
   c. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.   
   d. Choose "Select items" or "Edit" mode.   
   e. Now tap each PDF you want to delete - or tap and hold the first one,   
      then continue tapping others.   
   f. Once selected, tap the trash icon to delete.
