Q: How do I delete an album? Shared or otherwise?
I have recently upgraded to Photos 1.2 from iPhoto. I have some old albums that I want to reorganize and some to delete. These are albums that were created with iPhoto and seem to be ported to Photos during the library upgrade but I cannot get rid of them.
I can delete photos from the albums (select and press delete) but I cannot seem to delete the now empty albums themselves. Command-Delete does not work. I do not find a menu item for delete anywhere (not on image or other menu bar item).
Further, I cannot get rid of a shared album.... i can remove the photos but I cannot delete the album or change / edit the name - same kind of problem.
I am sure I am missing something simple but can you help?
OSX 10.11.1
Photos 1.2
Photos 1.2, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), 26GB Photo Library, 15K Photos
