"Delete from Album" meaning?

When you click on a photo and choose Delete from Album, is that the same as putting it in the trash and getting completely rid of it?
If it is just removed from the album but is still hanging around somewhere else, how can I find it and get rid of it for good?
Basically what I'm asking is, how do I completely rid my computer of a particular photo?   Thanks.

deleting from an albums does just that - removes the photo from the abum
to delete a photos from the library entirely select it in an event and press delete (or move to trash) and empty the iPhtoo trash and then empty the system trash

  • How are duplicate songs deleted from albums?  I've followed iTunes Help intructions but wasn't successful.

    How are multiple duplicate songs deleted from albums?  I've followed iTunes Help instructions but wasn't successful.  I command clicked the duplicate songs to select them, and pressed  "delete" on the keyboard, but nothing happened.  I also tried dragging the selections to tht Trash Bin to no avail. I'm sure that the album is not part of a Smart Playlist since i just impoted the songs.  Would appreciate any and all suggestions

    Right click - Delete.

  • Is there a way to delete from album and at same time from library?

    What I am doing now is deleting from the album, then searching out the pix from the library and deleting that. Awkward. Is there a more direct way?

    Yes. Flag the pics and go control-command-delete or just select the pic option=command-delete

  • How do i delete photos in my library without having them auto delete from albums I've created

    My photo library is HUGE.  I want to delete photos from the library WITHOUT having them removed from specific albums I've already created.  Why do they auto delete from albumns???

    You can not
    Albums are not a place - they are one of many ways to view the photos in your library - each photo exist one and only one time - Events, Photos, albums, last import, last "n" months, etc are simply different way to view the photo - none take up additional disk space
    If you delete a photo form the library it is gone from every view of it

  • HT6378 Does a mass delete from iPhone mean they vanish everywhere else?

    i have my photos on iCloud photo libary, on an iPad and on an Hone. If I lose the iPhone and the photos get deleted from it, will they also vanish from the iPad and from the iCloud Photo Library? Is ther any fail safe backup in the cloud?

    Hi ronchicago2,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand wanting to know what happens to your iCloud Photo Library photos if they are deleted from a device. Please refer to the attached article for this information.
    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.
    Happy holidays,
    Joe

  • How do I delete photos on iPad from camera roll without deleting from albums? If I do does it also delete from my mac photos?

    How do I delete photos off camera roll on iPad without deleting from other albums? Will this action also delete the photos off my mac?

    Album photo entries on the iPad are only pointers to the actual photo file which is stored in the Camera Roll. There is only one copy of the photo.
    Deleting a camera roll photo on the iPad will not delete the photo from your Mac.

  • Photos deletes from albums when deleting from photo stream.

    I just updated to the new Photos App. If  I take a picture with my iPhone, it appears on the photo stream on my Mac, of course. However, if I move the photo to an album, and then try to delete the photo from my photo stream, Photos also deletes the photo from the album! This happens even if I place the photo in a Smart Album. I tried following the Apple instructions given. They said to click on a photo I wanted to keep on my computer, and then click on the "share" option, Then I would be given the option to save the file to my computer. However, I am not given that option at all. I am only given the option to save it to iCloud  or some other cloud-based place. I only want to save it on my computer, not on iCloud. I have iCloud turned off, but photo stream turned on. Right now, the only way to keep pictures in albums is to go to the "recently deleted" file and "recover" them. This seems absurd to me. There has got to be a better way. Is anyone else having this same problem?
    This also happens with any other photos from my computer that I manually place into Photos. They get dumped into the Photo Stream, the no-man's land where they are temporarily there but not really there. And I cannot move them out of this temporary holding place without going through the above process of deleting them from photo stream and everywhere else and then recovering them. Help!

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    How to delete music albums from iphone?

    They're DEFINITELY pushing Apple users that way. I just saw yet ANOTHER new/incredible feature the Galaxay can do that Apple (I mean Tim Cook) can't even DREAM about doing.
    At this point, it's becoming an embarrassement to even own an iPhone. *sigh*

    while cleaning my iPhoto archive
    What do you mean by that?  Do you mean you deleted photos or albums from your iPhoto Library?
    You best solution is to use Time Machine to restore your library from just before you "cleaned your iPhoto archive".

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

    my iphone's memory is near capacity from photo albums sync'ed with my mac and I haven't found out how to delete select albums to free up memory without wiping the iphone.  Any suggestions??

    You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

  • How do I delete an album purchased on my i-phone for from the i-phone's i-tunes?

    The i-tunes on my i-phone is set up to sync with the i-tunes on laptop - if I purchase a song on either, it appears on the phone straight away. But I cna't figure out how to delete tracks purchased in this way from the phone. Help...?

    Try swiping to the left instead. Works for me. In the music app I can delete songs by swiping to the left, but I cannot delete an album in the same manner

  • Every time I try and delete an album from my ipod using itunes but doing so manually as was suggested, it is also deleted from the itunes library that i have set up.  How do I just delete albums from my ipod and not loose them from my pc itunes library?

    I have an extensive itunes library on my pc.  I want to delete albums from my ipod but still keep them in my itunes library.  Everytime I try to delete by right clicking on the album and choosing delete, I also loose the album from itunes.  I have just gotten an old iphone and put just classical and jazz on the iphone and want to delete those albums from my ipod but alas I will be loosing them from the iphone as well as soon as I sync with itunes in the future.  I put settings into manual manage music but still the albums go off itunes.  Any suggestions?

    I'm thinking you sync to your computer over Wi-Fi, if correct, switch to sync when connected to iTunes, turn off sync over Wi-Fi. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.
