How permanently delete photos in El Capitan for free space

I need to free up space on my MacBook Air.  I deleted more than a thousand pictures, but he has not released any more space.  "secure empty trash" doesn't seem to be available.  Any suggestions?

How do you delete photos (for example, in the Photos app), and how do you know that the space was not released?

  • After that I deleted my pictures for free space, it still shows in circles that there is no space available. What should I do? Can anyone help?

    I have an iPhone 16 GB, 6, and recently I received notifications that I have low storage. I deleted more than 400 pictures for free space and when I return to my settings it shows that I have no space available. I don't know what to do and it's really frustrading.

    Just to be safe, you deleted the content of the album "recently deleted" inside the photo app?

    If Yes, have you ever tried to force reboot the phone by holding down the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again?

    You won't lose data by doing this, but it can cure a few glitches.

    If still no luck, set it back to factory settings and restore from last backup:

    They are very old photo from my childhood so I definitley them do not need on my phone, but on my MacBook, I want to keep them.

    Thank you very much for your support.

    Check the settings on your iPhone.  Have you enabled iCloud photo library in the settings > iCloud > Photos on your iPhone?  Or "my photo stream?

    If you have iCloud library active on your and your iPhone photos sync iCloud and from there will to all your devices.

    If you do not want to synchronize on your iPhone photos, clear the iCloud photo library, but do not allow to delete photos from iCloud, or they will be removed the Mac as well.  With the removal of your iPhone, wait until all iCloud photo options have been disabled.

    Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

    If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
    for XP offers a few ideas:

    Place your pointer over the selected group
    (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
    the group even just the slightest bit... now

    Maybe the following will help:

    Sometimes most of the person who
    trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
    or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the

  • Delete the message "for free space disk outlook express can compact messages."

    I use a PC with Windows XP SP3. I use Outlook Express to access a mail server via POP3 / SMTP. Several times, I get a message saying "Disk outlook express can compact messages for free space": how to prevent the message from appearing?

    I read the posts in this forum even on users not using only not OE. I use OE, but I want to choose if and when compacting messages...

    Greetings and greetings of the season

    Marius

    Prompt compaction is triggered whenever you close OE 100 times.  So if you compact manually, you don't get invited again until you close OE for another 100 times.  Unfortunately there is no way to change this.  Dbx files shall be compacted.  If they are not, they will move on to an enormous size, and then get corrupted, so it is important to pack on a regular basis.

    You do not have. OE has never been a stand-alone email client. You are asking this in a XP forum. You have XP? If you do, you have Outlook Express. If you are using XP, what is your problem with OE?

    If you do not OE, maybe this will help.

  • How to recover permanently deleted photos iOS?

    Recently, I accidentally deleted photos of my camera and later permanently erased from the recently deleted folder and forget they were there. I only have backups iCloud. I don't have any iTunes ones. I tried the deletion and restoration of two backups. A for a few days and the other nearly two weeks ago. Two of them restore all photos of how they were after the pictures have been permanently despite them being backups before the deletion took place. These photos are gone for good? It seems to me that they are. I thought for sure the backups restore them, but they did not. Any help would be appreciated. There are additional methods, I can try that I have not already? Thank you.

    If you have been synchronized with iCloud, using a computer, go to iCloud.com/Photos to see if they are there, but I doubt they will. Looks like they are gone for good.

  • permanently deleted photos are REALLY gone?

    I accidentally deleted permanently 'iPhoto events' album of my iPhone > iCloud > Mac. I went from 8 000 to 2,000 photos. I've restored some of them of an old backup from time machine (March, 2013). My iCloud account clearly reflects the deletion. I was told that the hard drive data recovery options were futile, because data have been obliterated. Ditto for the Flash to the iPhone. I have renounced all forms of recovery of data a week ago, but now this question keeps nagging me: maybe I missed something? My precious photos are REALLY gone?

    What do you think average them permanently deleted, do you mean you deleted and then removed again from the recently deleted album.

    The iPhone path > iCloud > Mac doesn't mean anything to me, I'm afraid, but if the pictures have been synchronized on your Mac and you use time machine on the Mac, photos should be recoverable.

  • I have an Air of MacBk 2010 & I get the mssg "system is out of memory of the application", so it is impossible to open the Mail, Safari, etc.. But sometimes I can't. I deleted photos or videos for free space; no luck. What should do?

    I get the message "your system has wearied of the memory of the Application." So I can not open Mail, Safari, or any application.  However, I can periodically, the first thing in the morning, after I Shut Down & power up, not after a reboot.  I deleted a lot of photos and videos to free up space, but not luck.  IPhotos, I get the mssg. "cannot import pictures because not enough free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library."     The problem might be related to: 1 overheating, 2 PureVPN although I installed about 5 months ago and it was very good; 3. the MB Air was diverted (I'm worried that PureVPN may have something to do with it).  Or is this a sign that I need to get a new laptop?  Thanks for any help you can offer!

    release disk space and short-term memory are two different things. If your computer is running more disk space, it will have a negative effect on your system.
