andsome Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I don't know about Media center, but in other programs select EDIT/Select all, and then press the delete button on the kepboard. If you only want to select some of the pictures, hole down the mouse button and drag across the ones that you want to highligh, and then press the delete button. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I don't know specifically about WMC but the normal way of bulk deletion is (in list or thumbnail view) click the first one for deletion, hold down the shift key and click on the last one. This highlights all the items between the two clicks which can then be deleted in the normal way.If you want to deleted all files in a folder, press Ctrl + A and then delete.I hope I've understood you correctly. Please revert if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accidently pressed the wrong button so to speak. Thanks for your time. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 This is one of the most basic Windows functions; all Windows versions I have known, from Windows 3.1 to Windows 7, have these functionalities. There is perfectly no reason why you couldn't do that in WMC. But maybe you need to use Windows Explorer to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only the second time I have used "windows forum" could you tell me what to do about the question on the forum, should I delete it, leave it, or what. Thank you, megiston.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Is your question answered, or does the problem still exist?We do not delete any questions, especially when they are answered. This way it may help somebody else in the future. Also, sometimes I use answered questions as a reference for similar new questions or problems.
