Unable to delete rejected photos & unable to view edited and original photos side by side

[Charmaine_Rebekah]

Hello, 

I'm currently using v3.2 of Lightroom on Mac.

However, I'm finding that there seems to be quite a few issues that I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing. 

1) I'm unable to delete rejected photos all at once. I've tried cmd+delete/alt+delete but it frustratingly only deletes the photo that is currently selected (screenshots below). I'm currently in the album itself, but even when I go to "all photos" it presents the same issues.

When I try looking for the delete options under "help", it only shows me these options:

 

2) I'm not able to view my edited photo beside the original one. The image does change when I hit "\", but it doesn't present the photos side by side anymore.

Anyone else experiencing these issues? Your help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Don't delete the photo(s) from within an album, delete them from within 'All Photos'. And first select them all. Your screenshot shows only one selected photo, so that is the only one that will be deleted.

As far as I know, side-by-side has never been an option in Lightroom Desktop. That option only exists in Lightroom Classic.
