I am building first trial slideshow in PhotoStory Deluxe v. 11. Moved photos into media pool. Want to delete some from pool, but all delete functions delete file from ORIGINAL folder and move it to recycle bin. How do I delete a photo just from pool?

Hi,

I am not sure why you want to delete the file from the media pool. Why not just delete it from the timeline or the sceneline?

Thanks.

If I delete a photo from the timeline or sceneline, it is still in the media pool. If I delete it from the media pool, the ORIGINAL photo gets deleted from the original folder. So if I move, say, 10 photos into the media pool but eventually decide to use only 7 of them in the slideshow as I build it, do I just have to leave the three unused photos in the media pool?

Thanks again.

Hi,

Yes, just leave them there. The media pool is just acting like windows explore so that you can see what files you have to choose from. I does not actually re-save the files to another location so it is not consuming any disc space.

This is a poor solution. When I clicked on Pictures in the Media File, it automatically imported every folder and file I had in my Pictures folder, which I did not want to do. Now I can't get rid of them. They take up space in the Media File and are confusing. Bad system in this regard.

Please note that you have resurrected a 6 year old topic.

Presumably you mean My Pictures in the Media pool?

. . . . automatically imported every folder and file . . . .

Did you turn this option off in the project settings?
