I think this may have been asked before but is the any way to delete more than one photo at a time?
It's a slow job doing it one at a time.

All the best

Vic,
I am not 100% sure on this but I believe if you put your photos into an album (a user created category) then you can delete the category/album later and all the photos in it will be removed.

Does anyone else have any experience with this? Does that work?

Thanks,
Jim

Vic, Jim, I've dumped entire albums at a shot, works very quickly and quite efficiently...just make sure that you don't delete something that's irreplaceable! (ACK! )

Thanks Jim , Gunny.

I started using albums a while ago but have loads of unwanted photos from before I started using them.
Do you mean to put the unwanted photos in an album then delete it? Would this be quicker than deleting the single photos 1 by 1?

Thanks

That's a good question, Vic!
And honestly, not sure of the answer,because 99.9% of my pics go up in albums, but relatively speaking, it takes one prompt click to dump an album...each single picture, you must click on edit, then click on delete...the best I can tell ya is give it a go and see the difference (and I would be interested in knowing the difference as well! )

The problem is that you first have to add the individual pics to the album that you will delete..

Cheers

Hi Henk,

Yeah, I know what you mean but I wonder if it's a bit quicker to do it that way
I'll have a go when I get the chance and let you all know

All the best

Vic
