    if its like mine it shows up as a drive when you plug it into your pc.You should be able to select the pictures and just delete them.

    Go to your instruction book and that will tell you how to format your card. That clears everything off it and prepares it for further use. It's one stage along from just deleting individual pictures but should give better results.

    If you have a card reader for pc. Insert the card into the card reader, several drives should show up in my computer, one of them will be the right card drive, then simply select that drive (make sure you select the right card) and format.

    No longer a user, goodbye folks. PLEASE delete my account. Thank you

    on mine it plugs into a usb port then it shows up as a drive.There is a folder inside ,when you open it there is another folder and when you open that one,there are all your pictures.You just select the ones you want to delete and delete them.You can also copy and paste to your pc that way if you dont want to bother using the cameras photograph program Or drag and drop them.
