To delete multiple photos at once, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the folder or location where the photos you want to delete are stored on your computer or device.
2. Hold down the “Ctrl” key on your keyboard. This key allows you to select multiple items at the same time.
3. Use your mouse or trackpad to click on the thumbnails or icons of the photos you wish to delete. As you click on each photo, it should become highlighted or selected.
4. If the photos you want to delete are not located next to each other, you can continue holding down the “Ctrl” key and click on additional photos to select them. This way, you can choose multiple photos scattered throughout the folder.
5. Once you have selected all the photos you want to delete, right-click on one of the selected photos. A context menu will appear.
6. In the context menu, click on the option that says “Delete” or “Move to Trash.” This action will prompt a confirmation message, asking if you are sure you want to delete the selected photos.
7. Confirm your decision by clicking “Yes” or “OK” in the confirmation message. The selected photos will then be moved to the recycle bin or trash, depending on your operating system.
8. To permanently delete the photos and free up space on your computer or device, you may need to empty the recycle bin or trash. To do this, right-click on the recycle bin or trash icon on your desktop or in the file explorer, and choose the option to empty it.
It’s worth noting that the exact steps and options may vary slightly depending on the operating system you are using. However, the general concept of selecting multiple photos and deleting them remains the same.
In my personal experience, I often find myself needing to delete multiple photos at once to declutter my photo library or free up storage space on my device. Being able to select and delete multiple photos simultaneously saves me a significant amount of time and effort. I hope these instructions help you in efficiently deleting multiple photos as well.
