Your suggestion works up until it takes me to the folder for me to delete the photo. It brings up ALL my pictures and I am unable to locate the photo from the list of other photos so i can delete it. and it is SO slow! this is very frustrating!

I am trying to delete photos and they're saying I have to scroll through every photo I've ever taken after I've clicked on them and gone to the folder....so it displays on my screen and I THEN can delete? What is going on with this?!?
