No no, i've not been clear. I want to delete a number of files at the same time, in one step.
Apologies.
I know the correct way to delete / remove files.
What I mean is:
How do I get LR to show me where a number of files live on my hard drive and select them. (Then in the hard drive I can delete them.)
Using 'show in finder' is great, it shows me where a file lives and I can delete it.
What if, i'm searching in a smart folder for images that are less than 5 star, as an example, i locate these images then want to delete them, i get the error message, 'cannot delete / remove files directly from a smart folder'.
If i could tell LR to simply show me where a number of files live (not ONLY one file) on my computer, i could happily then delete them.
Showing the file as missing does not concern me.
Is it any clearer?
