Selecting multiple photos in Phone Link?

B0bbyEwing

I really need to tidy up the photos on my phone & by that I mean delete a ton.

I could do it manually on the actual phone but when connected to my (Win 10) PC via Phone Link they're all a nice size to see & easily selectable. Problem is I can only select one at a time.

I Googled how to do it & it mentioned long pressing - this does absolutely nothing & only opens the photo like a single click does.

Is it even possible to select multiple photos for deletion or is it a one at a time thing?

I had a go at this and agree that it's not possible to select multiple photos.

There are workarounds if you Google the problem but they all seem to need additional software loading to the phone/PC.

Can you cast/mirror your phone screen to a TV? Not ideal but would at least let you see the photos at a larger size.

I'm on Android and when I delete on Google photos on the web it syncs deletions to my device.  I assume that's the default behaviour - I don't recall changing anything.   On the web multiple selection is easy (click the tick mark top left of each photo).
