I used to have IPHOTO now it is called simply PHOTOS. How do I delete pictures from PHOTOS? There is no way to move pictures to the trash.
There are a number of ways, personally I select them and then hit the delete key on my keyboard.
Photos is a totally new and different program form iPhoto and like all new programs it does have a learning curve - Let me introduce you to a really neat capability in nearly every single Mac program - HELP on the right end of the menu bar - it is an amazing help in learning how to use new programs

Delete photos and video
You can delete selected photos and videos from your library.
When you delete items, they’re placed in the Recently Deleted album, where they remain for the number of days shown, and then are permanently deleted. You can restore items before that period of time. If you have iCloud Photo Library turned on, you can restore photos and videos from iCloud for 30 days before they’re removed from iCloud and your Mac. If you’re not using iCloud Photo Library, your deleted photos are removed from your Mac only. You can also manually delete photos from the Recently Deleted album to remove them immediately from your computer and iCloud Photo Library.

Deleting Photos from a Photos 1.5 Library
1 - regardless of where you are in the library, i.e. Moments, Collections, albums, smart albums or projects, select the photo(s) you want to delete and use the key combination of Command+Delete to move the photos to the Recently Deleted smart album.
2 - click on the Recently Deleted smart albums in the sidebar.
NOTE 1: If you're using Photos 1.2 or earlier use the File ➙ Show Recently Deleted menu option.
3 - in the Recently Deleted album you can opt to let the photo automatically delete after the 30 day waiting period is up, delete them immediately or restore them to the library.
NOTE 2: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with the Delete key only deletes the photo from that item. There is no key combination that will delete a photo from a project and move it directly to the Recently Deleted smart album.
NOTE 3: Deleting a photo from a Moment or Collection (the Photos window) or the All Photos window deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.
Thank you that was it.
