Deleting rejects in the LR CC?

[ludwigb93441694]

How to delete all rejected photo's at one time?  I used to be able to do this in LR Classic.

Even the simplest processes seem to take too long. Frustrating! 

Sorry, need to vent.

If the photos are in a continuous batch click the first to select then hold down shift and click the last photo to select all. Right-click and choose delete (number) of photos.

Thanks 99jon.

That did work.

But in this new LR CC, I still want to delete my rejects.  Since they are not a continuous selection.

Thank you

Simply click on the filter symbol on the top menu and then click the x flag to the left. Use Ctrl+A to select all.

This is the new Lightroom CC for Mac.  And you gave me an idea.

I selected which to reject.  Then filtered to only see rejects.

Used the Ctrl+A to select all.

And then deleted only the reject.

A couple extra steps.  Not like the previous version. Where I could delete with a command+delete.

Thank you for your help.

Press Ctrl+Backspace. This will delete all the Rejected Photos in selected folder.

Simple and this works!

I am new to Lightroom and am finding it difficult especially since when you Google for help all the answers seem to be relevant to Lightroom CC classic only.  I am also have the same problem with deleting photos.  I have tried the step listed above namely:

filter for rejected photos

control+A to select all

delete photo

But this only deletes photos one at a time.  It is not selecting all of my rejected photos.

Any additional help is most welcome.

I found that if I select photos within any collection Smart or not, then clicked on the encompassing folder (in my case photos) that the photos I selected in the collection remain selected no matter which subfolder they are in.   Then I can use menu or cmd+delete to delete the selected photos.

None of the above answers actually answered the question.  So the CMD-DELETE function works, just not inside a collection.

Im so effing frustrated too! I hate this set up!

Trying this, I only got the option to delete 1 photo (even if using shift to select multiple photos at once). Even after filtering for all rejected photos, I was unable to select all (CMD+A)... it was greyed out.

Here's what worked for me: apparently you have to be in one of the grid views (NOT the single photo "Detail" view) to Select All, then you can CMD+DEL to delete all selected photos at once.

This was the only option that worked for me! Thanks so much.
