multiple highlighting

[Guest]

I have many jpg pictures that I am trying to delete. I hold down the control
key and start left clicking the pics that i want to delete. After a few have
been highlighted, they are automatically copied. Getting no-where. It takes
too long to do one at a time. Thanks for any help.

What's happening is you're moving the mouse off of the last file
highlighted before you release the left-click - which results in a copy
of everything you've highlighted - essentially you've highlighted a
number of files, and performed an inadvertent drag and drop into the
same folder. If the files are sequential, you can highlight the first
file, then shift-left click the last file, and it will select all the
files between the two.

Thanks very much. That helped a lot.

After you have several files highlighted, you can use the Control key plus
left click to remove or add more files.
Highlight a file in the middle of the list, Shift + Home or Shift + End.
Control + A will highlight all files in a folder.
