I understand the diffrencce between deleting a photo from LR verses completely deleting from the disk.

However when I try to "delete a photo from disk" through light room it remains on my disk no matter what i do.

I do click the option "delete from disk" verses "remove" from LR

any ideas on what is happening here?

    Yes, I was tagging photos and had selected a collection with a specific tag. When I go back to folders all is well. Thank you.

    That would be correct behavior, I believe the manual states that Lightroom moves the file to the recycle bin, so technically it is still on your disk. Is the file being moved at all or are you saying it remains in its original location despite your choosing remove from disk?

    Are you in grid view, loupe, and which module. What sort of image? Platform, OS.
