    You have to select "Delete From Disk" to get the files off of your drives.

    Do you get the dialog that asks you if you want to delete them from disk? If not, then you may be in a collection and deleting an image when in a collection only removes the image from that collection, not from Lightroom and not from disk.

    The less info you give, the less we know about you and about what you know or don’t know. You did not even say which OS you use...
