Deleting media files
In Media Manager, you can choose to delete a file from an album, Smart View, or folder.
When you delete a file from a Smart View in the My Media view it is deleted from all Smart Views or albums. When you delete a file from an album in My Media view, it is deleted from the current album only. In both cases, you are also prompted to delete the file from Windows. If you choose to do so, the file is deleted from all Smart Views and albums, and (if the move to Recycle Bin option is enabled in Windows), it is placed in the Recycle Bin.
When you delete a file in the Folders view, it is deleted from the Windows file system, and placed in the Recycle Bin, if the move to Recycle Bin option is enabled in your Windows system.
