Press the key combination Command+A to select all photos in your library.

Select Photos from the Library section at the top of the left column.Note that if you've enabled iCloud Photo Library, any photos and videos you delete on your Mac are also deleted on any other devices for which iCloud Photo Library is also enabled (your iPhone or iPad, for example). iCloud will only let you restore all your deleted photos at once, but you can take a more selective approach by using a third-party solution like Google Photos or Dropbox on Mac or PC. If the photos on your Mac are taking over your hard drive, or you just want to start your photo and video collection afresh, the good news is that Photos for Mac allows you to delete all the media in the Photo Library in just a few short steps.īefore you go down this route, make sure you've backed up any photos or videos that you want to keep.
