Can not delete photo from catalog PSE

[garyk63018255]

Im using PSE 2020.  I have many imagine I want to delete from the Catalog/DB.  Many times I get the message "can not delete doing analysis on this image".   Any ideas?

The images are being analyzed for smart tags, face recognition and Auto creations.  If you go to the Edit>Preferences>Media Analysis dialog, uncheck all of the boxes.  Relaunch the Organizer.  You should be able to delete your files.  You can then turn the media analysis back on.
