Delete option in photo preview! Please!

It's truly frustrating that there's no delete button on the photo / video preview screen. The only way I know if it's an image I want to keep or delete is to view it in larger form, not as a thumbnai...

Hey Joan S.18, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.

 

From what I gather you'd like to delete some files from your account from their preview and not their folder's structure - correct? 

 

There should be an option to delete the file you're previewing through the ellipsis (...) icon on the top of the page. Are you not seeing this button on your end?

 

Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
