I use the old Yahoo Mail. I noticed today when I look in "My Pictures"?

EVERY picture that has ever been sent to me as in an e-mail is saved under that. I can check the little box but there is no way to delete it. I also can right click but no delete!!!! How do I get rid of all these pictures?

    Hoping you mean MY PHOTOS in the old format....this is how you do it. The only MY PICTURES I know of is when you click on START and MY PICTURES is displayed along with many other options. Normally, that has nothing to do with yahoo mail attachments.

    CLASSIC MAIL

    Click on MY PHOTOS ..

    ...once in go to MESSAGE VIEW....place a check mark in front of the message with the photos/attachments that you want deleted and go above and click on DELETE..

    You will notice on the far right side the present FOLDER that they are in.

    (..INBOX...SENT..FOLDER.etc)When you click on DELETE the location will change to TRASH...It will remain at this location until you clear your trash folder..This also applies to the methods described below.

    If you want to delete the entire page go to the top and click on SENDER and that will place a check mark in front of all the messages on that page....then click on DELETE to wipe out the entire page...(after you clear your TRASH folder)

    If you are not sure what message contains the photo(s) you want to delete go to the PHOTO VIEW...When you click on the description below the photo the email message will come up with the delete option....

    If you go to the ATTACHMENT VIEW you can click on the MESSAGE SUBJECT and your original email will come up with a delete option.

    Also, if you want to delete just the attachments and not the message MOST of the time when FORWARDING or REPLYING to the message there will be a REMOVE following the attachment. Click on that ....your attachment will be gone and your message still intact....

    NOTE: While in MY PHOTOS and clicking on ATTACHMENT VIEW

    Clicking on this link will provide you with additional info on this subject and MANY more...
