Description
Now that the delete all button has been removed, there is currently no option to select all or delete all.
I suggest that like other iOS apps such as Files or typical mail apps, one can long hold to get a context menu that includes select as well as details and other, like one can do on other screens. Such would also allow one to see file path in cases when one has many files and wants to know path info.
Typical iOS apps also contain within the top right context menu an option to select.
Many iOS apps also have a specific control to empty deleted files or empty trash, e.g. typical mail apps. In iOS 17 Photos, such is on the bottom of the screen. I think this is better and easier to reach than at the top. It could be such is a new design language that will soon be adopted by other apps; consider other apps such as Maps or Safari that provide often used controls at the bottom. Screen shot:

Research direction
The issue concerns the deleted-files screen in the iOS app and proposes selection, context-menu details and path access, plus an empty-trash control. Start by locating that screen and reviewing the existing deleted-file actions; compare the cited Files, Mail, Photos, Maps, and Safari patterns. Done means the agreed interaction and requested deleted-file actions are implemented and verifiable.
