🗑️ Overwhelmed by thousands of old photos in Google Photos? Clean slate time! In this 3-minute tutorial, I'll show you the genius Shift-key trick to select and delete ALL photos at once—no manual tapping needed. Works on PC (Mac/Windows) via web—perfect for freeing up Google storage fast. Careful: This moves to trash (recoverable for 60 days)! 🔧📱
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Delete All Google Photos at One Click
Use the web version at photos.google.com (Chrome/Safari/Edge recommended). No app limits this way—select 1,000+ easily. Warning: Back up first if unsure!
→ Get the First Photo That You Want: Open Google Photos, go to your library or album. Scroll to the first photo you want to delete.
→ Go to Top - You Find Right Sign, Click on That: Hover over the first photo thumbnail—a circular checkmark (right icon) appears on the top-left. Click it to select the first one (turns blue).
→ Scroll Down to Photos That You Want to Delete: Scroll slowly down the page to load more photos (Google auto-loads). If you want to delete ALL photos, go all the way to the last one in your library (may take time for huge collections).
→ Hold the Shift Key on Keyboard: Press and hold the Shift key (on your PC/Mac keyboard—this selects a range).
→ Go to Top on Photo - You Find Right Sign, Click on That: While holding Shift, go back to the very first photo (or the start of your range) and click its checkmark again. Boom—all photos in between highlight blue! (Top bar shows count, e.g., "5,000 selected").
→ Go to Top - Click on Move to Trash: With everything selected, look at the top toolbar—click "Move to trash" (trash icon).
→ Click on Move to Trash: Confirm in the pop-up by clicking "Move to trash" again. It's now deleted (moved to trash, not permanent yet)!
All photos are gone from your library—refresh to see the clean space. To permanently delete, go to Trash → Empty trash.
Pro Tips:
For Entire Library: Search "Photos" to load everything, then Shift-select from first to last. Google limits ~20K at once—repeat if needed.
Recover Accidentally? Check Trash folder (left sidebar)—restore within 60 days.
Storage Check: After delete, go to photos.google.com/settings/storage to see freed space.
Mobile Alternative: In the app, tap-hold first photo, drag to select range (slower for all). Use web for bulk!
Why Shift? It's a browser range-select—works in any gallery site.
2025 Update: Still flawless on latest Google Photos—no changes needed.
This trick saves HOURS—ideal for decluttering before upgrades!
