Basically When I delete an Album or pictures from an album it doesnt delete photo from the iphoto library does it? How can I get the pictures to delete from the library also? And, How can I get all the pictures in my iphoto library that are not part of an album deleted?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Deleting form an album delets from that album and not from the library (or the computer) - if you want to delete from the library (and the computer) depress and hold the command and options keys and press the delete key - then empty the iPhoto trash (do not let more that 100 or so photos build up there) - and the system trash
All iPhoto Keyboard shortcuts are here - http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/shortcuts/
To delete photos from events or photos view select the photo and press delete (or drag the photo to the iPhoto trash) - then empty the iPhoto trash (do not let more that 100 or so photos build up there) - and the system trash

Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurances of that photo in the library.

thanks! this was very helpful.
I Have a lot of photos in my library that are not a part of an album. Is there a way for iphoto to find all the photos not belonging to any album and delete them?
File -> New Smart Album
Album -> is not -> Any
Yes. Create a Smart Album with the criteria: Album is not Any.
Deleting linked with albums and library?
