[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1723360, member: 83420"] Ah. Right; things are slightly different in the Photos app. You select your photos and delete — (Cmd + Backspace or Right Click & choose Delete, from the options) As before, there is a safeguard. The deleted images can be found on the left under "Recently Deleted" where they will stay for 30 days the they're gone (behaves like iOS in this regard). You can click on "Recently Deleted", select all the images; right click — options include "Restore" or "Delete". In this case "Delete" means for good. As I said, large numbers of photos take a while. Next point you mentioned: maybe your photos are all over the place, not just in Photos. They are where Finder says they are and can be deleted as if you were deleting any other files; BUT make sure you backed these up too before you delete. In this case Delete puts them in the Mac's Trash (safeguard) and permanent deletion is from there. Any help? Ian [/QUOTE]
