    How do I SIMPLY delete my camera roll pictures


    I need to delete my camera pics that I took on my webcam. I am not a computer whiz and need a SIMPLE procedure! They are not on the camera roll under the Pictures icon. I saw several posts on this and don't understand why Microsoft makes deleting a bad picture SO complicated!!!

    :)

    "Camera Roll" and "Saved Pictures" folders: permanently delete on Windows 10

    The Camera Roll folder is created by the Camera app.

    The Saved Pictures folder is created by the Photos app.

    If you simply delete the folders those apps will recreate them based on the location stored in the registry at:

    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

    When viewing this location in Regedit, if the purpose of each key isn't obvious, look them up on Microsoft's KNOWNFOLDERID page.

    To truly delete the folders you must Uninstall the Camera and Photos Apps and then delete the folders.

    If you just want to move them somewhere more convenient the article commented by @w23sh above is very thorough.

    Remove Camera Roll, Saved Pictures and Screenshots Folders & Libraries in Windows 10?

    It boils down to "Cut and paste the folder to a location of your choosing."

    • Press “Windows+E” it will open file explorer.
    • Go to “This PC” and click on “pictures folder”.

    Delete "Camera Roll" & "Saved Pictures" - Win 10


    Yep exactly same situation here. Don't want them and no matter what I do they keep coming back. Make sense they relate to OneDrive and Photos app.

    Have left a question here Permanently delete Saved Pictures Camera Roll Folders - Microsoft Community but as per norm the 'support' don't seem to know what you're talking about.
