Step 1: Locate the Photo
The first step is to find the photo you want to delete. You can do this by navigating to the folder where the photo is stored. This could be a specific folder you created, the Photos app, or any other location on your MacBook Air.
Step 2: Open the Photo
Once you have located the photo, click on it to open it. This will allow you to view the photo in its full size and ensure that you are deleting the correct one.
Step 3: Delete the Photo
With the photo open, you have a few options to delete it:

2. Using the Keyboard Shortcut: If you prefer using keyboard shortcuts, you can press “Command + Delete” to delete the photo. This will also move it to the Trash, where you can empty it later.
3. Using the Right-Click Menu: Right-click on the photo and select “Move to Trash.” This will also move the photo to the Trash, allowing you to delete it later.
Step 4: Confirm the Deletion
After moving the photo to the Trash, you will be prompted to confirm the deletion. Click “Empty Trash” to permanently delete the photo from your MacBook Air.
Step 5: Empty the Trash
To ensure that the photo is completely removed from your MacBook Air, you need to empty the Trash. To do this, click on the Trash icon on your Dock and select “Empty Trash.” This will permanently delete all the items in the Trash, including the photo you just deleted.
And that’s it! You have successfully deleted a photo from your MacBook Air. If you need to delete more photos, you can follow the same steps for each one. Remember, emptying the Trash is irreversible, so make sure you are deleting the correct items before confirming the deletion.
