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
