How to delete photos in a folder without causing unintended empty space?

So I like to keep photos in a typical Finder folder. The thing is, whenever I delete a photo, there's an empty space where that photo used to be. And those empty spaces add up and the result is not too visually appealing. Is there any way to remove all the empty spaces at once? Thanks in advance.

Try setting a default Sort By setting using COMMAND-J while viewing the window. You can configure other settings as well:

How to I delete photos i don't want any more from my hard drive? It seems that if I only delete them from iphoto is not enough.
I don't see individual photo documents stored in my hard drive as would have seen in Windows environment.
Help please!

You won't actually see the pictures deleted. They are stored in User/Picture/iPhoto Library. When you delete pics in iPhoto, the size of that library should be reduced
If you right click on the library, select "Show Contents", and you will be able to see all your images in the "Master" folder.

How to delete photos from faces folder?

Hi my iPhoto events are all clear of photos as are all my folders. However I have 4000 photos sitting in the faces folder - how do I delete these?

Sorry but that doesn't make sense to me. There is no reason to remove the faces thumbnails. Are you trying to empty a library or something? If so, don't waste your time. Just trash it and make a new one.

Question: any recommendation on how to delete (or group to folder) numerous duplicates in iPhoto. I create a folder, only to find it empty, and the photos in another unrelated folder, sometimes combined with those photos but other times bumping that alb

Question: any recommendations on how to delete (or group to folder to burn) many duplicate photos in iPhoto? I had considered using D Annhilator, but I saw several comments re: same to make me rethink this. I have thousands, literally, duplicates. It's like they reproduce overnight. I cannot get a reasonable explanation re: why this is happening. I thought I would start with "albums" and try to drag those to a burn folder, but that will take a long time. I hate to mess with "library" or "events" at this time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do i delete photos on my ipad without my ipad being with me

how do i delete photos on my ipad without my ipad being with me?

Your computer's iTunes can only be used to remove photos that were synced from a computer (or to sync different folders), it won't show camera kit photos or photos taken with the iPad.
You should be able to delete them either via Image Capture, Aperture or iPhoto on your Mac (they should let you import and delete them ; in Image Capture you should be able to select and delete them via the 'no entry' bottom left without importing them).
In the Photos app in thumbnail view you should be able to select the photos that you want to delete via the Select button top right of the screen and then tap the trashcan icon top left ; if viewing a photo fullscreen then tap the trashcan icon bottom right to delete it.

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

Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced - and then re-syncing.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.

HT204406 How to delete duplicate songs from Libary without deleting them from play list or other devices

How to delete duplicate songs from libary without deleting them from playlist or other devices

I'm with you verm71; it's not entirely clear how Apple is expecting you to manage this. I'm going on vacation soon and want to clean up my phone so that it's nice and empty for the new pictures. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this without losing your pictures in the new Photos as well. If imported, it's impossible to see which is the Cloud version and which is the Local version. It's very annoying.
I've also noticed in iPhoto you used to have the ability to locate the original of the picture inside the photo database. That option is not provided in Photos, making finding the original extremely difficult.
It seems to be a great, well-oiled system. But I would love to know how Apple envisions the typical workflow for archiving...

How to delete photos from photo library?

Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, uncheck the folder containing the photos you want to remove (or to remove them all, uncheck "Sync Photos"), then click Apply at the bottom to sync your device. If you only want to remove individual photos rather than the entire folder, move them out of the folder on your computer, then sync.

How to delete photos from album in ipad?

Try a sync without any photos and then do a further sync with only the photos you want.
[Are you sure the settings are correct in iTunes? What do you mean when you state 'when prompted'?]

I am sorry but I don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone that were sys from a computer.

I just don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone placed there by Syc.

Well, if they were synced fomr a computer then the iPhone says the computer "owns" them for instructional purposes. You have two options.
1) Plug your iPhone up to any computer with iTunes. You can get itunes at www.itunes.com Then tell it to sync photos, but then select no photos or an empty folder. This will override what the previous computer put on your iPhone.
2) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings and say goodbye to everything including those synced photos. If you make a quick backup first in iCloud (be sure it finishes) then you can restore form your iCloud backup via Wifi and those synced photos wont be there.
