Dear Metasonix,

For over a year now, I have been in the process of one-by-one deletion of message photo attachments goong back to 2018. It is a pain. But with the new interface, easier than before, since you can go directly to delete. In lur group, it isn’t so much the original posts, it’s the 3-5 members of the group who consistently attach duplicates of the original photos to their replies. Grrrrrr. Originally, members just didn’t know, how it worked. When advised of the situation, most have kindly cut way back. The remaining perpetrators just don’t seem to get it, despite sweet beggings and stern warnings. Since it is a paid group, I would ove to consider fining them a dollar a duplicate, or similar, but their contributions to the knowledge base of the group are so important.. .

So, whenever there is a wonderful TV event, like the Olympics or SuperBowl or in the midst if a binge-watching session, I sit down to do a deletion session. Yes, I do miss some of the program, like Simone Biles floor routine, but slowly but surely getting there. I work backwards from today, as there are always new duplicates to “release” from the album. Yesterday I deleted 20 copies of the same off-topic dog photo. Grrr. But I am now in 2021. Yeah!

You do get into a flow as you do this; if all goes well can delete a few each minute. The problem I find is when I make a mistake and end up stuck on a photo I don’t want to delete, then I have to go back to some kind of starting point and work my way through to that same page. If I don’t know where I was, it’s a challenge.

Still IO is such a great system!?

Best wishes,,

One of our members accidentally uploaded more than 4500 photos to the group's Emailed Photos album.

I can delete the individual photos, but that would take days and days. I can't find ANY way to delete the whole album. There is no "Delete Album" button there.

The group is called tubecollectorsassociation.

Please, what do I do?
