Batch removal is useful when cleaning a library, but the options have different consequences. Confirm the action before proceeding.
Handle a Single File from the List
Right-click a file in the file list and choose the action you need. You can remove it from the app, delete the source file, or perform other file actions depending on the menu.
Batch Handle Selected Results
- Select multiple files or images.
- Open the batch action menu.
- Choose remove, delete, or another supported action.
- Read the confirmation dialog carefully.
- Confirm only when the selected range is correct.
Three Actions to Distinguish
- Remove from app: deletes database records but keeps source files.
- Delete from device: moves source files to the system recycle bin and updates the database.
- Remove from collection: removes items from the current collection only.
Common Cases
- Use remove from app when a folder should no longer be indexed.
- Use delete only when you are sure the source file is unwanted.
- If you deleted by mistake, check the system recycle bin as soon as possible.
