Deleting photos in My Pictures results in multiple copies
of the photos. The photo in question may be gone, but in
its place will be same photo with a copy number below;
the numbers can get quite large, and of course, the
number of photos becomes oppressive. Dragging to the
recycle bin yields the same result as right clicking and
selecting delete. Any help will be appreciated. Yale
==========================================
Maybe the following info will help:
It happens occasionally to most anyone who
is trying to multiple select by holding the Ctrl
or Shift key while left clicking to select the
image files.
The copies are created when you fail to
completely release the mouse button before
you move the pointer to another file. If a group
of selected files is dragged...even the slightest
bit...the next mouse click will produce copies
of all the previously highlighted files.
It's somewhat easier if you have your Folder
Options set to Single Click...this way you can
select/deselect a file with just a mouse over
and you don't have to click. For multiples you
still have to hold...Ctrl or Shift.
No click...no drag...no copy...maybe that's
your solution.
If you wish to delete all the files in a folder
you could try the following:
Go to...Edit / Select All...or type...Ctrl / A...
With all files selected...go to...File / Delete...
or press your Delete key...or...right click the
group and choose "Delete".
