I want to delete photos from my folders that I already deleted from LR

I didn't realize I was not removing photos from disc.  Now I want to remove the unwanted files from my folders but I can't figure out a way to mass delete them.  Please help!

There is no way to mass delete the photos that have been removed from Lr.
Win Explorer / Mac Finder don't recognize what's been in Lr and been removed.
And once they're removed from Lr that's it. For Lr they're non-existent.
But you could re-import them folder by folder by doing <Synchronize folder>. Lr will display them under <Previous Import> in the Catalog panel (left side in Library Module). Highlight them all by doing Ctrl./Cmd. + "A", then right-click, select <delete> and then select <Delete from disk>.
Next time, when you don't want to delete images from disk right away, create a special folder (call it "candidates for deletion") and drag the images in there, That way the images remain in Lr and you can later on <delete from disk> from within Lr.

  • How do i delete photos on my iphone that were previously deleted from itunes? cannot remove photos from iphone album.  trash can is greyed out.

    how do i delete photos on my iphone that have already been deleted from my windows laptop? The photos cannot be selected and removed from the iphone album.  trash can is greyed out.

    You should be able to delete the photos by syncing with iTunes. Either remove the checkmark beside "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes or change the selection of photos to be synced. Each time you sync it is supposed to set the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

  • In Iphoto, How can I delete photos on my iphone that have already been imported?

    I've just spent over the hour on the phone with my sister (who has a law degree, I have an engineering degree), and we could not figure out how to delete photos from our iphones that have already been imported into Iphoto.  I thought Apple was the company that made things easier???  This is a nightmare.
    The way it should work:
    - Launch iPhoto
    - Stand on iPhone (Under Devices)
    - Select photo to delete (under Already Imported)
    - Right-Click Delete (or Send to Trash, or Something)
    Obviously we are not thinking like Apple thinks...does anyone know how to do this, or are these programs as crap as they seem and you have to go back to your iphone and select each photo one at a time (all several thousands of them).
    Don't even get me started on how messed up my photo libraries have become now that I have (fully) switch over to Apple.
    By the way, I like my Mac for everything else...but its photo capabilities suck.

    Thanks, I was hoping for something a little more selective that I could do from my computer, but I think this is helpful.
    Maybe the best approach to get this under control is:
    - Import all photos into iphoto
    - Delete all photos per your suggestion
    - Selectivly sync the photos you want put back on your phone
    Thanks again, I didn't know this and is a helpful trick!
    P.S. I still wouldn't mind finding a way to selectively delete files that are on my iphone from my computer.  (In Windows, you can go to My Computer -> Iphone, open the folder and delete what you want).

  • HT204022 How do I delete photos on my phone that were synced in from iPhoto? I do not want these photos on my phone!

    This is what the website says to do:
    On an iOS 7 device
    In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
    Tap the shared stream you want to remove, tap People, then tap Unsubscribe (if you’re a subscriber) or Delete Photo Stream (if you’re the owner).
    You can also tap Shared, tap Edit, tap the Remove button on the left side of the shared stream you want to remove, then tap Unsubscribe (if you’re a subscriber) or Delete (if you’re the owner).
    However, when I go into my photos app, there is nothing that says "shared" at the bottom of the screen.

    unsync via itunes
    plug device into computer - open itunes- click name of device click photos- uncheck all photos you want to remove- sync or apply at bottom
    Peace, Clyde

  • Deleting photos off iPhone 5c that were automatically synced from an iPhone 4s?

    I have an iPhone 4s and all of my photos are automatically synced to my dad's girlfriends iPhone 5c, and they can't be deleted off her phone. So I need some help getting them off her phone and keeping them from being sent. Please and Thank you to anyone who can help!

    If the photos came to the new iPhone after being synced in iTunes to a computer, then you will need to uncheck photos in iTunes for that new iPhone and sync/Apply the changes.
    If these photos are listed in the My Photo Stream on the new device, its becasue both phones are using the same Apple ID in Settings > iCloud.
    If you want to use the same account, everything will continue to sync from Settings > iCloud that is turned on, turn off Photos in there to stop uploading photos to My Photo Stream, or Delete Account and either don't use iCloud or set it up with your own account/email address.

  • Can someone tell me how to delete photos off my iPad that came from my iPhone?

    How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream in iCloud?
    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.
    How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream on my devices?
    After deleting the photos from your Photo Stream in iCloud, you can remove the Photo Stream photos from your devices as follows:
    On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream and turn Photo Stream off. This will delete all the photos from your Photo Stream album. If there are any photos you want to keep on your device, make sure to add them to an album or save them to your Camera Roll first.

  • How do I delete photos on my iPhone that were transferred from iPhoto to my phone?

    I recently transfered most of my photos from my iphone to iphoto on my macbook. A couple of days later I transfered some of them back onto my iphone, but now when i look at them on my iphone there is no way to delete them there. Ive tried everything but nothing works. I simply cannot delete photos on my iphone that were transfered there from iphoto.
    I thought apple was supposed to make things easier, but apparently not.

    Correct. You need to Un-sync them using your Computer.
    Basically do the opposite of what you did to get them on your Device.

  • How do I delete photos from my iPhone that have been downloaded from my pc?

    I am not sure how to delete photos from my iPhone that I have downloaded from my pc or that I have taken with my iPhone (on my camera roll)

    "I am not sure how to delete photos from my iPhone that I have downloaded from my pc"
    The same way you put them there.  The sync process.  open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want on the iphone , sync
    "or that I have taken with my iPhone (on my camera roll)"
    You can delete them when you import the photos to your computer - using whatever softare that you import them with or you can go to the pics and hit the trash can on the bottom of the screen.

  • When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?

    I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?

    Thanks If anyone can help me.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

    If this is an iCloud account the Outbox only appears when sending an email, so if it is still trying I suppose it should be showing now (not sure though, hard to replicate this)
    What type of email account?

    I am trying to get back photos and videos from an app that I have deleted.  I really hope there is a way of doing this.  Someone please help

    Only if you backed up the phone before that and did not back up after that. App settings and data are part of the backup. But all other data will be set back as well, you can't choose a single app to be restored from the backup.
