After updating I now cannot delete photos on my Mac. I can do it on my cloud page and on my phone but the delete button on my keyboard does nothing.

I updated my OS.


I can delete and select multiple images in on my cloud page and on my phone.


I no longer can select multiple image or delete images on my Mac.


If I hit the delete button on my keyboard it just beeps and does nothing.



iMac 21.5″, OS X 10.11

You may have lost Focus on the Photos library so give this a try:


1 - click on the Finder icon in the Dock (close any window that it opens with ⌘+w).

2 - click on the Photos icon in the Dock.

3 - select a photo and use the Delete key.
