Sometimes you find that deleting photos from your electronic devices can be a more difficult task then you anticipate. This guide can help you get them off the most common devices you own easily and quickly.

To get them off of your computer, you will need to find were these photographs are stored. In most cases they will be stored in "my documents" in Windows. To get to this you will need to click on the word Start at the bottom left corner of your screen, open documents, and then go to my documents.

From there you will select the photo that you wish to delete, click on it once and then right click and select delete. While this sounds complicated, a few practice clicks will give you practice to be able to do this like a pro. Although it won't remove every trace of the photo, so don't rely on this technique if you never want anyone to see that picture again.

If you want to completely remove the photographs from your hard drive, clip the red X. In the top right corner and moved to the trash can on your desktop. Right click on that icon and select in the recycle bin. You can also use these steps to remove photographs from the mails, external hard drives and other removable media sources.

To remove photos from your camera, you can review them through the menu and decide to delete them from the device at that time. Most cameras will require you to confirm that you want to leave them, but once it is done they will be removed from the memory. You can also attach the camera to your computer and remove them with the steps outlined above.

Deleting photos can help to save room on your hard drive and is a simple process. In just a few clicks of your mouse you can remove these quickly. Deleting them from your camera's memory card is important to make sure that your photos aren't used unscrupulously by others. - 30452
