Deleting Pictures

[Sandy]

I have WindowsXP and I am trying to clean up MY PICTURES
folder. When I highlight and click delete, I only get
copies of those pics! YIKES! I'm adding instead of
subtracting. I've even tried dragging the pics to the
recycle bin but same thing.

Can anyone help me?

After clicking on the file, release the mouse button and press Delete on
the keyboard.

Work with Control Panel> Mouse to adjust the sensitivity and speed of your
mouse might help to avoid this in the future. If the mouse is too
sensitive, it will interpret the slightest movement as "input." This input
can be misinterpreted and you'll end up with unexpected results such as
file copies that you did not intend to create.
