I can't see an option to delete photos from the Photos directory
Ok, read threads that say "Delete" is there and I still don't see it. I do on the "Files" screen, but not the Photos directory. Looking online in Firefox, I get NO option to delete a photo when se...
- 8 years agoYou can no longer delete from the Photos page. You need to select a photo and choose View in folder. From there you can delete it.

On the updated Photos page, I can't seem to figure out how to delete photos. I often scroll through there to look through all the new photos uploaded automatically from my phone. A lot of them aren't any good, and I'd like to delete them as I scroll through. I used to just delete them from there, but can't seem to figure that out now.

No I do NOT accept this as "best answer". Best answer and customer service is to provide a delete button on each photo and multiple photo pages.

Hey.... 2019!!!
Still can't delete a photo directly from the "Photos" section of Dropbox.
Remember when we were promised all the old Carousel functionality was going to get rolled into just Dropbox? Never happened!
Why is it I can select multiple photos on my phone in dropbox and delete them (or share them with a link) but I can't on DB's website?
This is a joke. As soon as I find something better I am out.

VERY BAD "solution". We need a DELETE meny item in the PICTURES web page.
It seem to be a "political" issue, making deletion difficult for us customers!
I know you are selling "online disk storage" but this is a "bit to smart".
Seems/sounds like, that there has been such a DELETE option in the past on the PICTURE web page.
The PICTURE web page is a good place to maintain recents camera uploads.[This thread is now closed by moderators due to inactivity. If you're experiencing a similar behavior, feel free to start a new discussion in the Dropbox Community here.]
