    Hi,
    I have a question regarding the removal of 10,000+ image files presently using precious system resources. Surely there is a method for selectively removing said files. Of the countless .JPG image files on board I want to retain a small fraction. Can anybody suggest a way to free up some space by removing these images, aside from removing them individually?
    I would greatly appreciate any advice you might give.
    Thank you.

    I would put the ones you want in a separate folder, then delete the folder of the unwanted ones.

    Aleekat,
    Thanks but I don't understand how that method would be any different than deleting the images INDIVIDUALLY.

    What you need is an artifical intellegence program
    so that you don't have to do anything ... ever.
    Really, what is your point ? You want some tool to
    only retain the ones you have looked at recently ?

    That might be possible sorting by access times.
    Don't have that AI program but it probably exists.

    Best

    civilwarstory--Hold down Shift and click on the images you want to SAVE. Then click Edit|Invert Selection. All the ones you do not want to save should now be highlighted. Click File|Delete.
