DSS - Removing images from folder query

[Look left]

Don,t know if this is the right place to ask this question ,if so sorry.

In DSS i have 200 images loaded i,ve analysed the images then put in the threshold  for say 80 of them so checked these 80 . I know I can just delete the poor 120 images and just leave the 80 , create a file list and save it. Then if i want to reload these I can just go to filelist and load them.

The question is how can i delete the 120 images from my original folder with the 200 images in and just leave 80 best images in the folder?

I could look at filelist and individually delete each image not on the filelist but this seems wrong and laborious.

Any suggestions please.

File Explorer?

Hold down Shift select the first image to delete, holding shift down, go to the last image to delete and it should select them all.

Excellent Laurieast , that gets rid of them from the file list which is great , however is there a way to delete them from the folder there taken from ?

ie Main file on Desktop M31 200 images. Using DSS we have reduced them to 80 .

Is there a way to automatically reduce the Desktop M31 down to 80 images.? This reduces the file size as well as just retaining the best 80 images , so maybe later when the weather is not so good then if you want to reprocess the image then it's already the best ones to work on.

Open M31 in File Explorer?

File Explorer/Desktop/M31

and do as above.

Sorry that's what I thought you had done, now thinking you did it from within DSS?

When you have built your DSS list the 120 you don't want in DSS when you select the file in your list you can delete it from the list and also choose to delete the source in the file drive folder
