How do I delete photos from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3?

Also, it seems to automatically grab every photo someone emails to me, which I don't like. How do I get APL3 to stop doing this?

Delete photos: select the photos you want to delete in the grid view, press Delete, and then a dialog box will appear asking you if you want to delete the photo (remove the photo from Lightroom but leave it on your hard disk) or Delete From Disk (which both removes the photo from Lightroom and deletes it from your hard disk).

Automatically grab every photo that is e-mailed to you ... I have not heard of Lightroom doing this, unless somehow you are saving the photos from your e-mail to the folder select under Auto Import.

That's how I thought it would work, but it doesn't. I select the photos and then press the Delete key, but nothing happens -- no dialog box, no nothing. Plus, there's no Delete thing for me to click on, either.

As for Lightroom grabbing every photo, it does exactly that. I've not downloaded any photos from the camera yet because I don't want it grabbing those, either. How do I turn off/deactivate Auto Import?

LR3 is quite old, but in LRCC Auto Import is found under the File menu. Check your settings to see if you might have a folder identified for Auto Import.
