Deleting all photos on windows xp

I have windows xp & I tried to delete all the photo on my computer, including hidden files/picture and it will let me delete all the images at once. And I tried to go to the start menu > Search > then select images/photos. I get an erorr message saying "error deleting file or Folder.cannot read the source file or disk". What should I do?

I'm not asking why you want to or comment on the dangers of deleting all image files, but the following should do what you want:

  • Perform your search.
  • In the search results window, click View > Details (this is just a list of a column, which is easier to work with)
  • Remove files in groups: click once on the file at the top of the list, then scroll down a ways, hold down the SHIFT key and click another file.  All the files between the two files that you clicked on will be selected (including beginning and end files).  Press the delete key.
  • Keep repeating this in batches.  If you get an error message on a particular file, press the CTRL key and click on this file.  This désélectionnera her to the group.  Do not deselect multiple files in each group until the group will remove.
  • When you are finished, you have a few files flying over which cannot be deleted.  If so, after the names of file here and someone will advise you.

    Greetings mutyurke

    From your post, it seems you deleted all your photos and removed the recently deleted photos thinking that they would still be in the cloud.

    Looks like you could possibly use iCloud photo library. If you take a look at this article: iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

    If you have active iCloud photo library photos are synced to all your devices include in iCloud. If you delete a photo off of one device, it is deleted on all devices, including in iCloud.

    Take care.

  • When you select multiple images in LR 5.2 on Mac, how delete all photos selected?

    Based on http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1308132?TSTART=0 I decided to add each question separately:

    Hello, I am very interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC that was missing today. Yet, I have several questions that I can't find really good conclusive answers, I'd like to get an answer before buying LR. Please do not write maybe like this or that (assumptions), because I don't want to start my entire workflow and then realize that I have to change all around, please reply, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using this method too.

    When you select multiple images in LR 5.2 RC on my Mac, using the film display, how to remove all selected files using a shortcut (as opposed to from the context right click menu > delete selected photos)? Details: To backspace help wonder if I want to remove it, I choose to drive, but he simply deletes individual photos, so if I selected 3, I need to do this 3 times.

    Several operations of selection do not work in Film Strip mode.  You must be in the library to act on several photos grid-Module view.

    It is the only way to do it?  Seems ridiculously heavy for me and not friendly at all.

    There should be a way to do it directly from the photo app screen.

  • 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
