Delete merged photos

When I merge (HDR or pano) photos I create the stack. Once I am happy with the final merged photo I would like to delete the photos that were merged, just keeping the result. Is there a way to do this without unstacking and deleteing the individual photos?

You could start by not stacking them in the Merge dialog if you are going to delete the originals anyway.

There isn't any much easier way with the built-in commands. You could save a few keystrokes:

1. Shift-click the stacking badge in the upper-left corner of merged photo. This will expand the stack and select all the photos in it.

2. Ctrl/Cmd-click the merged photo to deselect it.

3. Click the backspace/delete key to delete the remaining photos.

Thanks for the quick reply. The keystrokes will help a little, but I was hoping there was a "cleanup" command. Ah, well.
