select multiple pictures iCloud

I'm trying to manage space and clean up my photos. I cannot figure out how to select multiple pictures at once to move to trash. It's only letting me click each picture individually.


Usually you can hold shift and select multiple pictures

The shift key to select a range of photos is no longer supported for iCloud since an update to iCloud in November 2016. The only multiple selection you have in Photos at www.icloud.com now is to hold down the command key while you keep clicking the photos you want to download.


However, you can still use the Share menu to select all photos in a moment. See LACAllen's work-around in this discussion: Re: iCloud - Can't select mass photos



Use the SHARE icon to select the entire moment. then click away to remove the SHARE feature, but the entire moment stays selected

Then use the Trash button.

A window appears , again click on delete , the photos will be moved to recently deleted folder ( its your choice to delete permanently immediately , and if you don't after 30 days they will be automatically removed from the folder .
