Deleting Pictures

You can delete pictures (the actual files) from your picture folder or from any folder on your system.

Deleting pictures from within your Picture Folder:

  1. Open the All View, Album Views or Explorer View
  2. Select the picture(s) you wish to delete.
  3. Press CTRL-DELETE, or use the "Edit->Delete Pictures" main menu option.
  4. Confirm you wish to delete the picture(s).

If you just want to remove them from an album, use the Remove From Album feature within FotoAlbum.

WARNING: This will remove the file(s) from your system and you will not be able to undo the operation. You will have to restore them from a backup in order to recover the files. If this is your only copy of the picture, you will probably want to move your pictures outside your picture folder as opposed to deleting them
