  1. How to delete photos from within the Photos app.


    In earlier versions of Windows I was able to view photos one after another by clicking or tapping the right arrow. When I ran across one that was blurry, I could delete it from within the viewer without having to return to Windows Explorer.Now with the Windows 10 Photos app I can't find that option. Is it there somewhere--or must I return to the Windows Explorer folder each time I want to remove a picture?

    :)
