Why can I not delete pictures from macbook air big sur 11.2.1 using photos 6.0? Photos were taken with an iPhone and were deleted off of it. I have tried Command Delete, using the delete button and dragging to the Trash can. Nothing is working.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2
Thank you for the quick response! I found numerous folders on my computer with pictures. One appeared to a copy of another. Anyway, I checked all of them using Get Info to see if they varied in size. They were all different sizes so I put any that were close in size in the Trash can to see if any of my Library disappeared. After looking through the pictures and determining that nothing was missing I permanently deleted the other files. The ability to delete pictures began to work after that, both delete and command delete. So far no more problems.
Are they in an album?
If so, hold down the CMD while selecting delete from the image menu.
If you are in the all photos view, you don't need the CMD key.
