Windows 10: Can no longer select range of pictures on SD Card and delete with one delete.

Now have to delete one at a time - windows 10. Checked mouse option as to why mouse goes to one picture and can't highlight a row.

Prefer to keep using MS Picture Manager but may try Paint program. Something changed over the last year by automatic updates. I haven't added anything to my PC.

Can't delete files from sd card.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



1: What is the exact error code/error message you have received when you try to delete/format the files?



2: Is that happening with all the files or with any specific file?



3: Which Operating System are you using?



If you are trying to format the SD card, you may try the following steps.



Please backup your files before proceeding with this step. This will delete all the files saved in the SD Card





Step 1:

Insert the microSD card into your computer card reader. If you do not have a card reader, use a USB card reader to add this capability. If your card reader does not accept microSD cards, insert the card into an SD card adapter
to convert it to standard SD card size. When doing so, make sure the adapter's lock slider is in the unlocked position.





Step 2:

Click the "Start" button, right-click "Computer" and select "Manage" to open the Computer Management dialog box.



Step 3:

Click "Disk Management" from the left panel.



Step 4:

Right-click the microSD card from the list of storage devices and select "Format."



Step 5:

Click the "File System" drop-down menu and select the file system you wish to use. If the card will be used in personal electronic devices, choose "FAT32" or "FAT." If the card will only be used on your computer, choose "NTFS."



Step 6:

Click "OK" to format the microSD card.





Reply with the required information if the issue is not resolved with the above mentioned steps.



Hope it helps.

Picture Album that won't stay deleted

Confirmed that I have the same problem. I had a folder with pictures on a SD card and had used this SD card inside the phone for a short while. I then deleted the photos from the SD card using the phone's picture hub. While the photos got deleted, the
blank album persists even after multiple delete attempts, EVEN AFTER the SD card is no longer in the phone!!
