Connect your camera to your computer
Connect your DSLR camera to your computer. It depends on the type of camera and available connections. Some cameras have USB input for memory cards, allowing you to connect directly.

Open the folder on your computer where the photos are stored. Select the ones you want to delete.
Format the memory card
Turn on your camera and press the Menu button. Go to the Settings menu. Select Format. Follow the instructions. Confirm you want to proceed.
All pics on your memory card will be erased forever! Formatting your memory card regularly will help ensure optimal performance and avoid problems.
Erase the pictures from the camera
Erasing photos from your DSLR is easy! Your camera’s make and model may have different methods, but these steps should help universally.

Scroll through images with a dial selector. To remove an unwanted photo, press the ‘Delete’ button and you will see “Confirm Erase?”
Select ‘Yes’ if you want to erase it, ‘No’ if you want to keep it. Do this until all unwanted photos are gone.
Finally, turn off the DSLR by shifting the power switch back.
