Can I delete an album or change name in Photos. El Capitan 10.11.6

I need to delete several albums in Photos. They are duplicates. If I can not delete them can I change the name. Operating system is El Capitan. 10.11.6. This seems that it would be a problem for many people trying to organize.

iPhone 5c, iOS 7.0.3

Thank you, Larry. Sorry, I am not as literate as some, I guess. Afraid I'm not sure how to right click.



which why I explained how to right click in my post

right click (control click) on the album and select delete album


and when you do this it will always delete the album you did the right click on - never a different one

You're welcome. 🙂


Actually, the "delete album" is described in the Photos Help, but not easy to find. It is described in the subsection "Create Albums". A separate heading "Delete albums" is missing.

I prefer to use the online version of the Help. It is easier to search. It will always show the sidebar with the table of contents.

And for the albums: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.2/?lang=en#/pht6d60a1f1


If you cannot find features in the help or find them poorly explained, you can send feedback directly from the page you are viewing. Just click the feedback link at the bottom of the page and explain, what is missing:
