Windows 10: Microsoft Photos App Settings

Hey all. One issue that I have run into so far is that the small dialogue box that used to allow me to "delete photos after import" is gone now. Whenever I connect my iPhone it automatically imports the photos to the Photos app which is a cool feature but there is no option in the Settings to allow me to delete the photos from the device after import.

The only alternative I found is to go into the device DCIM folder or delete them from the device. The problem is that sometimes the files are locked in the DCIM folder and I am unable to manually delete them from there.

I have tried to reset and repair the App as well and no luck. Any suggestions?

Microsoft Phot App

Hi PaBluOz,

Since the language on your PC is already set to Australian English, then I suggest that you reset your Microsoft Photos app. Note that the app's data will be deleted once you reset it.

To reset the Photos app, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
2. Locate and select Photos from the list of apps.
3. Click Advanced options, then click Reset.

If you continue to have this issue even after performing the above steps, please reply to this thread. The system will notify me so I can get back to you and provide you more answers.

Regards.
