How to remove picture in Desktop Pictures Folder

I'm fairly new to my iMac...I've had it less than a year. Somehow (don't ask me how!) I've managed to get a couple of personal pics under the" Desktop Pictures" folder that is found when you right click on the desktop and select "Change Desktop Background". When it opens there are several folders under "Apple" one of which is "Desktop Pictures". The ones in question are pictures I'd previously used as my desktop background, but I do this all the time and none of the others have ended up stuck in this folder. I don't know how I did it, but I did and I can't seem to remove them. It's not a life or death situation and I can live with it, but to be frank they are pictures of an "ex" and I'd prefer to remove them if possible. Please advise. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Wow! How easy was that! I feel like a moron. I work 8-10 hrs a day on a computer at work doing AutoCAD so I'm not exactly computer illiterate, but I was completely vexed at how to remove those. Thank you so much...I appreciate it very much!

    How do you remove pictures from an ipad2

    Pictures received on the iPad by email or copied to the iPad from the web or taken with the iPads camera can be deleted by using the trash can icon when in the Photo app.
    Pictures that were copied to the iPad during a sync are removed by connecting your iPad to your computer, running iTunes and deselecting the photos albums you no long want. To remove individual photos delete them from the album they are in either in iPhoto on your Mac or from the photo folder they are in on your pc.

  • How to remove pictures from photostream?

    Is there a way to remove pictures from photostream?

    No.
    You can only reset it in www.icloud.com ( click on your login name to see the option) , or turn it off in all devices to clear the cache - but once you turn photostream on again, the very same pictures will populate it for the next 30 days.
    There is no management or selection available of what goes in, and what not. If you have stuff you don't want to appear on all machines, you are best suited in not using this feature at all. ( That's what I do = turn off forever, because it is useless and the lack of selection is stupid ).

  • How to remove an item in a folder in Reminders on the IMAC

    I am trying to remove an item in a folder in Reminders on my IMAC.  I tried holding down the control key and clicking on the item.  Sometimes I get a pop up menu with the "delete" option.  But more often than none when I do this I get a pop up menu to cut, copy etc...not to delete.  Why the inconsistencies in holding down the control key and clicking the mouse?  Is there another way to remove the item listed in the folder?
    Thank you for your help.

  • How to move Pictures Folder to a new location.

    I have 4 internal HD's and I would like to dedicate one to be my Pictures HD/Folder. Is it as simple as copying the folder to that drive? I hope so.
    I use Photoshop and Lightroom only. Just use IPhoto for desktop wall paper folder.
    Thanks!

    If you use iPhoto at all, then it's a tiny bit more complex. Move the Folder then hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Select Locate from the resulting dialogue and then navigate to the new location. Thereafter that will be your default iPhoto library.
    Regards

  • How to point 'Pictures' folder in 'finder' sidebar to external (or other) HDD

    I just installed an SSD and am running my OS from that. I want to point the various folders in the sidebar (Pictures, Movies, Documents, Music, Downloads etc) to the original HDD.
    Is this possible?
    Any help appriciated.
    Sorry if this is elsewhere - I could not find it.

    1. WARNING: This procedure is for advanced users only. Some third-party software may not work as expected, or may not work at all, if the home folder is moved.
    2. Back up all data. Do not proceed unless you know how to undo these steps without having to ask for help. This website is not a support portal; it's a discussion forum. Don't assume that someone will help you if you get into trouble.
    3. If you do this wrong, you could end up with a bricked machine and no way to recover without losing data.
    4. Copy your home folder to the desired location, which must be on a volume of type "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with file ownership enabled, as shown in the Finder Info dialog. Encryption is optional. The volume must be on a local storage device, not on the network, and it must be mounted automatically at startup — before any user logs in. A disk image will not work.
    The name of your home folder is your short user name. Do not rename it. Do not copy the "Users" folder.
    5. Select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Users & Groups
    Click the lock icon and authenticate. Right-click or control-click your name in the account list, and select Advanced options from the popup menu. In the sheet that opens, change the location of the home directory. Log out and log back in.
    6. Test. If you have problems, reverse the above steps. If you got this far, you should have no trouble doing that. If everything works as you expect, delete the original home folder.

    CORRECTION.  After going to settings, select Photos & Camera.  Then select "My Photo Stream".  Change My Photo Stream to the "OFF" position.  This will delete all the pictures in your picture frame stream, so make sure you want to delete them.

  • How to remove pictures from iphone 5S

    I am unable to delete older pictures from my phone, tried unchecking box, no good.

    Only photos in the Camera Roll can be deleted on the iPhone itself. If you have synced photos to the device from a computer, you must deselect those in iTunes and sync again to remove them.

  • How to remove picture from one album with removing them from all

    Need to delete pictures on camera roll with delete them everywhere.

    Pictures in albums that you created from Camera Roll are not actually copies of the originals in the Camera Roll.  They are just pointers to the originals, so if you delete from Camera Roll, the pix are gone everywhere.  However, you can create albums on your computer and sync to your iPad, in which case, you can delete from Camera Roll and retain the pix in the albums. 

  • HT2476 How to view pictures folder in find when pictures folder goes automatically to iphoto?

    Does anyone know where to select the finder program as the default for viewing photos in photos or pictures folders?

    Hi dean192,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use the method from this article to choose which application you'd like to open photos (such as .jpg files):
    Viewing PDF documents in Mac OS X with Preview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22545
    Note that Finder is used to browse the files on your computer, but you can use Preview to quickly view image files.
    Select the PDF file in the Finder.
    From the File menu, choose Get Info.
    You can also ctrl-click or right click the file and choose Get Info.
    In the Info window that appears, click the disclosure triangle next to "Open with."
    Set the pop-up menu to Preview.
    Click the Change All button that's immediately below the pop-up menu.
    Cheers,
