    How exactly are you deleting?

     

    The correct way is in photos or all  photos select the photos and press delete  (or right click and select delete )

    How did you delete the photos?  Did you delete them using the Finder?

     

    To delete photos in Photos:

    • use the "delete" key, if you are deleting while viewing Moments, Collections, Years.
    • use command-delete while viewing the photos from an album or smart album.

    They shouldn't, and they don't for me. What kind of camera do you have?
