Batch deletion of images

Similar Questions

• Is it possible to images 'batch delete '?

  When I delete an image I also move it to the trash. This works very well for images by selecting just or it have be the image displayed, and then press the delete key, and then choose "move to trash" in the dialog box that appears.

  When I try this for images that I selected in a group, by choosing several, or selecting command and then shift - the last in a sequence of contiguous images, when I hit the delete button, the dialog box appears and I select 'move to trash', but none of the images are deleted - I must go back and select remove individual images.

  Shouldn't be able to delete several images at the same time?

  TIA,

  Ken,

  Yes, you should - however, you need to select grid mode not the film.

  If this does not work then it is a quirk in your preferences file.  You can make a copy of the Preferences file (name not LR), then delete it and LR will rebuild one at startup.  I had to do it twice in LR2 so I guess that the problem still exists in LR3.  Of course, I hope that the first proposal is the right answer.

• How can I delete several images in the Finder at the same time

  How can I delete several images in the Finder all at once rather than one by one

  Click on an image and the successive images to press the SHIFT, or command key by clicking on the image to add it to the selection. Then Ctrl-click (tap two fingers) on any icon and choose to put in the trash. If the icons are in an easily selectable column or online, you can click on the window that contain, and then drag around them for a multiple selection.

• After you import an image (.jpeg) file for the Photos on my Mac app, can I safely delete this image file to save space on my hard drive?

  After you import an image (.jpeg) file for the Photos on my Mac app, can I safely delete this image file to save space on my hard drive?

  Yes, you can remove the file from the imported image, if you have imported the image as managed.  IE preferences in ave Photos settled on "import: copy items to the photo library" being the default.

  

• How to delete a picture in Windows Photo Gallery tag files or specific files of photo files without deleting the image completely out of all of these places, leaving the image in one place vs. have in several places?

  I'm trying to manage my photos already imported and downloaded on my computer.  There is a master "All photos and videos" folder in the Windows Photo Gallery all in the top left of this program.  Below that is a folder "Images".  Below that are "Tags" with a certain number of 'labelled' folders below.  Lower in another main 'Images' folder with a folder of the yellow file beside him icon.  Here's this file, a number of other folder also named with the file yellow folder icon next to them as well.

  What I'm trying to do is manage all these photos and who want to keep a copy of an image in one of the folders of images with an icon of yellow folder next to him.  However, if I delete an image from anywhere in one of the places mentioned above, no matter which, a copy or copies of the image lies, the given image and all copies in one of the other place listed in the first subparagraph above are deleted and this specific photo is present ONLY in the recycling bin.

  How can I do what I want to do here?  I hope that's clear enough!

  Thanks a lot (someone)...

  Hi EKahn,

  When you delete a file from the library, you do not your computer delete it. If you delete a folder, photo library no longer displays images and videos that were in that folder, although the file remains on your computer.

  You can remove the folders that you have added to the Gallery of photos at any time, but you cannot remove files that are in the default Photo Gallery. Remove a folder prevents him from appearing in the photo gallery. If you delete a photo, it is deleted from your computer as if you deleted the images folder.

  Select the pictures and videos are displayed in Windows Photo Gallery

• Cannot delete system images (even via Control Panel)

  Hello.

  I tried to delete all the images in Windows backup system. I was able to delete the backups themselves, but does not remove the images.

  I did this:

  1. went to the control panel

  2. went to "Back up your computer" under system and security

  3. click 'manage space '.

  4. click on "change settings".

  I have selected the option "Delete all images of system for this computer" and click OK.

  I get the "Suppression system image" window, where it says "this may take a few minutes. Please wait... "And he has been slain on this for half an hour. I tried restarting my PC, always the same result.

  I don't bore you with the reasons for my doing this unless someone asks, in which case it is distracting from the main question.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you can not delete the system image. We will help you solve the problem.

  This problem may occur when your computer is infected by virus or malware, I suggest you run a full scan of your computer using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if that helps.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  After you perform a virus scan, I suggest you use cleaning disc from the link below to remove the files.

• Hi, I use lightroom 5 and have been for several years.  Today I imported several batches of today images from different cameras without any problem, but the images of a particular card (with an incredibly large memory) does not matter.

  Hi, I use lightroom 5 and have been for several years.  Today I imported several batches of today images from different cameras without any problem, but the images of a particular card (with an incredibly large memory) does not matter.  I see other people have had similar problems, but I am not able to follow these solutions and would very much help here.  I have an IMac.

  If you had probably two problems

  Permissions, the other is the hardware problem causing slow import and the card cannot be read by your operating system.

• Deletion of images when the external drive is disconnected.

  I shared my images between the local storage and 2 TB external hard drive.  If I delete a picture when the external drive is not connected it will erase the image next time the reader is turned on?  If this isn't the case, I guess I'll have images that are not in the catalog more on external hard drive if it was not connected when I press DELETE.  Thank you. Ian.

  Hi IanLivesey

  Lightroom keeps a catalogue of your pictures stored somewhere on the network no disc. If you delete an image you can delete in the catalog or the catalog and physically. To remove an image physically physical storage must be fixed.

  If you only remove the images from the catalog, they will remain on your hard drive. You can remove these images subsequently with the tools of the operating system.

  Kind regards

• Delete all images of chosen path

  Dear Indesign scripting,

  I have this script to remove all the images.

  Works fine, but I wonder it can remove only the images of a specific path?

  The path is/Volumes/Fotosource

  This is the path of a Mac.

  var doc = app.activeDocument;  
  var graphics = doc.allGraphics;  
    
  for (var i = graphics.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {  
       try {  
            graphics[i].remove(); // delete only image  
            // graphics[i].parent.remove(); // delete image and its containing frame  
       }  
       catch (err) {}  
  }  
  

  Thanks for the help.

  Checkhow the path is written as a string on a Mac.

  You can do this by selecting a container of image of a picture and the path of the file to read.

  app.selection[0].graphics[0].itemLink.filePath;
  

  It returns something like this (just an example):

  MB - 2:CC LibraryIssue with TIFF files: ProductShot - CMYK.tif

  MB-2 , where is the name of the volume where the file CC LibraryIssue in TIFF files .

  What follows:

  app.selection[0].graphics[0].itemLink.filePath.fullName;
  

  will return "undefined".

  This one:

  File(app.selection[0].graphics[0].itemLink.filePath).fullName;
  

  Returns the representation you want to work with (maybe):

  LibraryIssue with TIFF files/ProductShot - CMYK.tif /cc

• Deleting multiple images

  I've accumulated so many pictures that they take too much space, and I do not use them.  I'm trying to find a way to delete multiple images using Adobe Bridge CS5.  I assumed it would be easier through this program.  Its taking too long to remove them individually.  Is there a more effective way to delete photos? I thought to create a folder and just put the pictures in there to remove, but that's all I came up with that.

  Its taking too long to remove them individually.

  No need for that, several options for you:

  Selection:

  -Use the mouse to hoover on the files you want to delete, and then select all the

  -Click the first and with shift click selects the last of the series to select all the

  -Use the control with click button to select multiple files from different locations in the same folder.

  Deletion:

  The files selected to choose:

  -l' icon in the path bar (in CS4 and higher) of locker at the top right of the Bridge window

  -Press backspace custom

  -Use the right mouse click and choose "move to trash" menu drop-down

  -Go to the "File" menu and choose "move to trash"

• Deletion of images of the catalogue and the hard drive during a Collection.

  I have problems with deleting images in the catalog and hard at the same time in a Collection and I would like some advice on the best way to do it.

  It seems that there is no problem of deletion of images in folder mode - this is mostly what I do - but quite often, I'll see the images after that that they were put in a Collection.  Then I'll find one I want to remove from the Collection, the catalog and the hard drive and I have trouble identifying the means to do so.

  I can remove it from the Collection, but then I have to find the image in the folder or use the option all of the photographs of the find.

  So, I tried to use the flag rejected, but it's only local to the Collection - in other words if you find the folder or use all photographs and filter for rejected it does not show.

  The only thing that seems to work, so far, is to give a colored flag and then go to all the pictures and the filter on the color.  It seems long-term for me, then, are there other ways that I'm missing.

  CTRL + Shift + Alt + Delete (now it's a shortcut!) - removes from anywhere.

• Deletion of images does not reduce the size of the photo library

  I deleted about one third of my images from my library of Photos (Yes, I went to the "Recently deleted" and clicked on "Delete All") but his 45 GB in size was not afraid significantly at all.

  Is there a hidden method or even the third parties who may release and utilities compact the photo library?

  Is your photo library a library iCloud with optimization of the storage activated?

  In this case, you don't have much control over the storage you use.

  Just to be sure - if you remove photos from albums, did you remove it using 'delete album' or 'remove... photos "?

  The key to delete only delete album - pressing command + delete will delete the library.

  And if your photo library is a migrated iPhoto library or an Aperture, the storage library won't be released, if you delete the photos in both libraries, because the photos in both libraries are connected by hard links.

• How can I delete the images I posted in threads?

  I came here before and I've posted questions to people to help me. That being said, I sometimes had to post images to show the people what I was talking about. I find this kind of insecure, so I wanted to make sure I deleted all the images that I had posted before just for questions of security, so that no one else could see the photos I posted from my computer. Any suggestions on this subject, where I can find where to delete them?

  Yet once, not that we can see since the images have been emptied. Please let me know if there is anything else, my team and myself can help you. We're always here if you have questions and concerns in the future. Thank you!
