Photos will not delete when I right click

When I try to delete a photo by right clicking, the right click drop down does not drop down. I try also to highlight a photo and use the delete on the keyboard, and that does not respond.

However, right click is working on the side bar, and I can highlight an album or folder and the drop down gives me options and I can delete.

I have quit Photos and restarted, but that did not help.

Can you help me??

Hallo suefrombend! You won't find a version of Photos to install because, as I understand things, Photos is an integral part of macOS, so you can only update it by updating your System. It can't be updated separately on its own. You're using OS El Capitan, some versions behind the current Mojave, so why not try and update your Mac (I'm guessing here, as you don't say which device you're using)? Updating the System might well help you, and at least you'll have the latest security updates! Regards, Ian.
