New Mac for Xmas 12/21

It really frustrates me that they change the simplest of things. It used to be I could right click on a photo to delete it. That apparently doesn't work anymore. How do I delete photos from my Mac? Thanks!

MacBook, OS X 10.11

I could not get that screen to pop up and was trying everything and doing internet searches. After I tried what you suggested with the CMD key and still no luck, I thought maybe it was in my system preferences. Sure enough, I had to allow two finger clicking for the box to show up with all the options. Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Bear in mind - if you are viewing the image in an album, you also need to hold down the CMD key - else the command is "remove from album"

To check, right click and then repeatedly press/release CMD. What does the menu entry say?

I couldn't get that to come up, no. matter what I tried. After trying what Tony mentioned below, about the CMD key, and still no luck, I thought maybe it was something in my system preferences. Sure enough, I had to allow "clicking with two fingers" to get that screen to pop up.
