What utility are you using to delete the photos? Some photo viewing
software, or Explore, the Windows file mgr? If you can't delete the
files with the file mgr, use a dos command.

In the dos box, type the command:

cd C:\path\dir_with_photos\
rem photo_filenames

cd = change directory
rem = remove
