How do I remove photos from my iPhoto trash? I don't want to keep these pictures.

I have a large number of photos that I really don't want to keep anymore.
They are just taking up space on my computer.
They are in the trash now, but I don't even want them there.

Yes and then you'll have to empty the Trash bin in the Dock. 
To get all of the photos out of the iPhoto Trash and easily have access to them for deleting in small groups do this:
1 - select all of the photos in the Trash bin and drag onto the Album title in the left pane to create a new album with all of the photos.
2 - go back to the Trash bin, select all of the photos and drag them onto the Events icon in the left hand pane to move them back to their original events.
3 - go the the new album, select about 100 at a time and use the Command+Option+Delete key combination to move them to the iPhoto Trash bin.
4 - empty the iPhoto Trash bin.
5 - repeat steps 3 and 4 until all photos have been deleted.

  • How can I remove icloud from my iphone as I don't want my whole mailbox on it?

    Is it possible to only receive email without having my whole mailbox downloaded?  If not, how do I remove icloud from my devices?

    Create a new ID for yourself.
    Of course that will have none of your items purchase in the old ID.
    Once you have an ID then log into that ID on the iPhone.

  • How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library?  It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

    How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library?  It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.  I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one.  They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device."  I hadn't touched the camera.  The message came by itself.  I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit.  Opening it back up, the pictures were gone.  Can somebody help me? 

    What version of iPhoto are you running?  Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can someone please tell me how to import a photo from my iPhoto library into Photoshop Elements 11.             o library

    Can someone tell me how to import a photo from my iPhoto library into Photo Shop Elements 11.  When I am in Photo Shop Elements and I go to import the only option is to import from a camera.  I want to import a photo from iPhoto.  If I can't figure this out Photo Shop Elements is totally useless to me.

    Not sure what you are trying to do
    If you want to use PSE as an editor for iPhoto then set it in the iPhoto preferences (you need to search the forums for the exact settings - they are not obvious)
    The general answer to yoru question is to import a photo form iPhoto to  any other program is to select the photo in iPhoto and export to the desktop and import from there
    Please explain what it is taht you want to do

  • How do I burn photos from an iPhoto library album to a CD disk as jpegs?

    How do I burn photos from an iPhoto library album to a CD disk as jpeg files? I'm wanting to burn the iPhoto library exactly as it appears in the "album", so they appear as jpegs, so you can't tell that the files have been edited in iPhoto. (I have edited some of the photos in iPhoto.)
    I tried this using the "share/burn" menu option, however, it included the original files, which defeats the purpose of editing them.
    Any suggestions?

    Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pics to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to CD with the Finder.
    Regards

  • HT4847 How do i remove photos from i cloud without losing them all together.

    How do i remove photos from i cloud without losing them all togther.

    I'm assuming you mean photo stream, since photos are not stored in icloud except for backups IF photos are set to be included in backups - and you can't remove photos from a backup after the fact.
    Photo stream is a conduit for copying photos from one device to another - it is not designed to store photos long term (photo steam only keeps the photos for 30 days and only up to 1000 of them).
    When photos are downloaded to a computer (always sync photos from an iOS device to a computer for archiving one way or another, photo stream is one such way), you should always move photos from the photo stream folder/album to a permanent location.  Once moved, you can then delete them from the stream.

  • HOW do i remove photos from iPhone to make more space

    how do i remove photos and movies from Iphone to make more space

    You can delete photos that you have taken with the phone by highlighting them and tapping delete.
    If these are photos synced from a photo library (like iPhoto Library), those photos cannot be deleted from your photos app. Those must be removed by the photo library or "un"synced from your phone. I don't know why this decision was made by Apple, but that is something you have to do from the computer.

  • How to delete multiple photos from updated iPhoto

    How to delete multiple photos from the updated iPhoto

    1 - there is no updated iPhoto - iPhoto is still on your computer and version 9.6.1 is probably the last version - there are no updates planned to iPhoto
    2 - Photos is a new photo management program built into OS X 10.10.3
    3 - Assuming you are talking about Photos  select the photos and press delete - they then go to the recently deleted photos album (show recently deleted under th file menu) where they sit for 30 days and then are automatically deleted unless you manually delete them first
