Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
How do I delete photos in iphoto? I mainly use "events" to sort and organize my photos. I need to clear up extra space and get rid of old photos so they can be deleted from iphoto all together but it would be easiest if I could some how just delete entire "events".
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010)
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.

It is the exact answer - I guess you need to spend less time making multiple crazy posts and more time understanding software the many tens of millions of people use and love with no problems
If you actually have a question then post it with no editorials and include exact details of your system and your problem - ThreadJacking other people's threads with crazy posts is RUDE and totally unproductive

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
Until you give us this information we won't be in any position to help you.
From Photos version 2.0, select the photos that you want to delete and press <Option> <Command> <Delete>

That is correct - however if you notice this is the iPhoto for Mac forum not the photos for Mac forum and the OP specifically ask about deleting from iPhoto for Mac - so the answer is to their question not to a different question about different software that has a different forum that they did not ask
