If yous desire to remove ALL of the photos in the album, that is the same thing as simply deleting the album. You tin do this on the Albums page (www.flickr.com/photos/me/albums) past clicking on the lilliputian trash can icon on the anthology.

The above will NOT delete the photos from Flickr. Albums practise not contain the actual photos, they are just a view that shows some of them to you lot. The but place your photos really "exist" is in your Photostream.

If you want to remove SOME of the photos from an anthology, yous have to become a little sneaky about it. There is no way to directly batch-remove photos from an album, but you can batch-Add all the OTHER photos from your album to a 2nd album, and and then delete the start album.

1. Open the Organizr (www.flickr.com/photos/organize)
2. At the very lesser left there is a philharmonic box that initially says "All your content". From here, select the album yous want to remove photos from.
--The photos from that anthology volition appear across the bottom.
3. Select photos that you want to Continue in an anthology. You tin can click to select one, ctrl-click to select subsequent ones, and shift-click to select a continuous range of them.
4. Drag the selected photos into the batch area.
5. Add the batch photos into a new album ("Add to anthology", at the height).
6. Delete the offset album. (Again, this does not remove the photos from Flickr -- or from the other album.)

There is no way to straight batch-remove photos from an album

With photographic camera whorl - opposite to the organizer - information technology is possible to batch delete photos from albums! Select all photos You want to delete from an anthology in camera whorl so click on the "Add to album" icon. Then a new window pops up where You tin notably delete the selected photos form all those albums they all belong to.

Nice tip.

One extra annotation virtually that: If at kickoff you lot select some photos that are in the album and some photos that are not, so your outset click on the album will really add together ALL the photos to the anthology, and so it requires some other click to remove ALL of the photos from the anthology.

Cheers for that tip. That may simplify the batch deletion from an anthology every bit You don't have to ensure that Y'all select just photos that belong to that album.

However this solution might not exist the most intuitive 1: You accept first to click on "Add together to album" in order to delete photos from an album.

I know this has been addressed quite a chip, simply it was such a source of frustration for me that I thought I'd also share how I resolved it. I motorcar upload photos from my phone with a high degree of regularity and so I use my PC to organize them into albums and collections. I and so want to empty my auto upload album because those photos had been organized and placed where I wanted them to be. If I could not empty the car upload album I would soon have thousands of pics in the anthology and, because there is no indication on the pics that they reside in some other album, I would always wonder if this and that had been organized or not and the album would go a quagmire. I tried deleting photos from the album after moving them while on my PC and ended up permanently deleting over 600 photos (irretrievable). You would non have liked me that day! Information technology is non possible to batch delete from auto upload on your PC without permanently deleting the photo from all of Flickr! On your PC it is possible to remove photos from automobile upload i at a time later on you take moved (or should I say copied because that actually is the just selection you have at this time) them to another album by clicking on the photo in question and scrolling downward to where information technology indicates which albums the photo is in and deleting it from the auto upload album by clicking on the corresponding 'ten'. This tin can exist excruciatingly cumbersome if yous are dealing with hundreds of new photos and multiple albums. On the bright side, I have learned that if yous move/copy your photos to other albums from auto upload on your PC that you lot tin can go to your Flickr app on your phone, get to your auto upload anthology, and easily choose multiple/batch photos (just tap on one or more photos) to delete from your auto upload album and information technology will do so without deleting them from the other albums. Eureka! Although I wish I could do this on my PC it is a lot better than deleting one at a time. I hope this helps others who have the aforementioned frustration as I have.

Personally I call back the wisest choice is to avoid all "auto-upload" and "car-sync" capabilities of any tools, catamenia, end of story. The credible convenience is simply not worth the risks.

Declining that, yous should at least make every effort to have multiple, physically separated backups of all of your files, at some phase in your process earlier whatever of the automatic operations are set up to occur.

Sorry I accept been ill and not able to respond to this thread. Camera Ringlet is nice and works well with normal albums. Unfortunately, I exercise non see the "Car Upload" album when I select the add to album selection. I empathize the choice to remove pictures using that feature past unselecting them from the add to album (a trivial backwards and confusing). The Auto Upload album seems to be different and locked in some way.

I currently have almost 5000 images in the Auto Upload anthology (I went to a few concerts recently and went crazy with my outburst mode). I might endeavor the suggestion of copying the files to a temporary album so deleting the Automobile Upload anthology. See if that works.

You don't need to delete it. Once all the images are removed information technology will delete itself.
