DELETING FILES

   To delete a file, for example if you've copied pictures from a camera and then want to delete the pictures using the computer instead of deleting them using the camera, use one of the below methods.  To find the file you want to delete go to Finding Information.

DELETE ONE FILE 

   One way is to right click on the file you want to delete.  Then click on delete.  

DELETE SEVERAL FILES   
   If you want to delete several of the files in a folder, click on one of them, hold down the Ctrl Key and keep clicking on the ones you want to delete until all the ones you want to delete are highlighted.  Then right click on any of the files.  Then click on delete.
DELETE ALL FILES    
  If you want to delete all the files in a folder, then first click on "EDIT" on the upper left, then click "SELECT ALL."  That will highlight all the folders and files in that window.  Then right click on any of the files.  Then click on delete.  This will not delete the folder.  If you want to delete the folder as well, it is easier then to click on the button, then right click on that folder and click delete.  That will delete that folder and all its contents.
DELETE ALMOST ALL FILES
  If you want to delete almost all the files in a folder, then first click on "EDIT" on the upper left, then click "SELECT ALL."  That will highlight all the folders and files in that window.  Hold down the Ctrl key.  Then click with your mouse on the ones you do not want deleted.  You will see that they are no longer highlighted.  Then right click on any of the highlighted files.  Then click on delete.
