Select the relevant files, press your keyboards delete key and select 'permanently delete'.

To add to the previous post (and sorry if stating the obvious), to select more than one file: after selecting the first file press CTRL and LH mouse button to select each additional file, or you can press SHIFT plus LH mouse button to add all the images between the first selected and where the mouse pointer currently is.

You have to be viewing them in the "multiple images in the centre of the screen" mode. Even if you've got multiple images selected in the film strip at the bottom, if you're only viewing one photo in the main portion of the screen, it'll only delete that one.

Same goes for exporting.

(You can see in both dialog boxes that it'll be deleting/exporting "1 photo" or "X photos&quotwink
