    If your memories items are not in album - but just in the general default gallery (of which there is only 1) - then you can select multiple items - by holding down the shift key and selecting multiple items and then choosing the option of delete. This does not work if they are inside an album - in which case you delete the album and then they will revert back to the general gallery - after which the previous stated process then works. You can probably not delete more than like 100 at a time.

     

    However Im interested to hear - after you have gone through all the work to upload them - why would you want to delete them - if in turn you will just turn around and resubmit them.

     

    keep in mind you can untag them from people as needed, you can put them in albums specifically for a "holding purpose" or you can even "archive them" which should hide them from others. I woudl be leary of a full delete unless you are 100% certain of what you are doing.

     

    I also highly recommend the use of albums (like computer folders) instead of just loading everything to the single general gallery. this makes it so much easier to group, sort, organize etc.

    If you need me to send you some specific screen shots of how to accomplish a specific task - let me know and I can.

    Are you wanting to delete images from Memories? I'm not sure that I understand where you want to delete information from.

    Yes, sorry for the lack of clarity. I essentially want to start over with my uploads and albums.

    I cannot find an easy way to select all photos at once, and then delete. If I have to do them one at a time, I will be busy for a while.

    No problem. It is easy to ask a question and expect others to understand what we are thinking about. I think a lot of us do this. I am guilty of doing this myself.

     

    @Dennis J Yancey​ Did you post directions for how to do this the other day? I am thinking that you did.

    also be aware that you dont have to upload items one by one - you can upload entire batches of documents/images in a single process. (usually less than 100 though at a time).
