Did you know that you can access the images stored on your Google account on any device, as long as you are connected to the internet? Photos you take on your phone can be automatically backed up and synced to the cloud to be accessed through the Google Photos app on Android, iOS, and even through a web browser on a desktop computer or laptop. Also, you can use the larger display of your PC to delete photos a bit quicker, here’s how:
- Head to the Google Photos website in a browser on your computer.
- If you haven’t already, sign in to the Google account that you wish to purge pictures from.
- Hover your cursor over the first image and click the checkmark in the top-left corner of the photo to select it.
- Scroll down, and while holding shift on your keyboard, select another image. This will select all other images in the range between the first clicked image and the second.
- Click the trash icon in the top-right corner and select “Move to bin.”
You will notice that this trick only works for selecting a couple of hundred pictures at the same time. Unfortunately, this means that you will have to repeat the process manually until you get rid of every image stored on Google Photos.
