Do you mean the Photos page? If so, that's the problem. You can't delete from the Photos page. You can only delete from the Files view.
If you can't find a photo in the FIles view or don't know where it is, when you're on the Photos page you can click the ellipsis and select Show in folder. That will take you to the photo in the actual folder where it resides, and you can delete it from there.

Super User alumniHey lilbeedee,
So you can't delete from the Preview, you have to do it in the "Timeline" view as you say from the Web Client.
Well yes that's what I said...that there is NO option to delete FROM THE TIMELINE VIEW. That is what I need help with. Thanks!

Hey lilbeedee
Take a look at my screenshot below:
You should see the delete option there after you click the 3 dots.
Yeah I don't know....it's just not there. The page SAYS I'm in the Timeline...but it shows thumbnails of all the photos. The ellipsis in the BOTTOM right. When clicked on it gives a list of options, such as: Share, Share link, Show in folder, Download, Add comment, Star, Version history.
Am I in the wrong place?? I must be, but I don't know where to go. Thank you again!
