I am clearing all my duplicated photos recently from Photos. But there is a problem that when i right click on the photo, the menu does not have delete option anymore. I do know what is wrong. It never happens before.
I have Mac 10.15.3, Photos 5.0 (131.17.170)
MacBook Pro 13”, macOS 10.15
Which album are you browsing, when trying to delete a photo?
The Imports album does not always show the "Delete" option in the contextual menu in Photos 5.0 while Photos is still processing the recently imported photos.
And for the standard albums - there is a confusing change. Standard albums do no longer show the "Delete photo" command at all in the contextual menu, only "Remove from Album". If you are viewing a standard album hold down the command key ⌘to bring up the "Delete photo" command in the menues. The command key will change the menu entry "Remove from album" to "Delete ...".

But you should still be able to use the key combination command-delete ⌘⌫ in any view to delete selected photos from the library.

I am not sure, why this change has been introduced, perhaps too many users have accidentally deleted their photos when they just wanted to remove them from an album. Now we are prevented from deleting photos when viewing an album, and "remove" is the default.
Thanks a lot, that helps! I don't understand why it works this way, but is Apple making deletion more complicated?
Hi léonie, Thanks for your reply and helpful advice! It resolved my problem:)
