I just deleted all my photos from the Olympus E60 last weekend using the delete all option. I was a bit nervous, but it was super straightforward. Just remember to back up your files first! Had a few precious family photos, but luckily I transferred them to my computer before deleting everything. Definitely recommend that step!
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that backing up worked out for you. Always a good practice to keep those precious memories safe!
I’m a bit confused about the menu navigation. Is the 'Delete All' option hard to find?
The 'Delete All' option is usually located in the main menu under 'Delete' settings. If you have trouble, make sure you are in playback mode first.
I recently deleted all my photos using the 'Delete All' option, and it worked perfectly! Just remember to back up first, like the article says. I almost forgot and would have lost some great shots!
I disagree that formatting is the best way to delete all photos. I prefer using the delete option in the menu; it feels safer, as I can confirm what I'm removing first. Just my two cents!
I get your point, but formatting is quicker if you’re sure you want to delete everything. It really depends on the user's comfort level!
Just a tip: always ensure your battery is charged before deleting all photos. I once ran out of battery mid-deletion and it caused some issues!
What happens if I accidentally delete a photo that I didn't mean to? Is there any way to recover it afterwards?
I actually think formatting the memory card is a better option if you want to delete everything. It's faster than deleting each photo one by one!

Good article! I have a quick question: does deleting photos from the camera also delete them from the memory card, or do I need to format the card separately?
Is there a way to delete all photos faster than going one by one?
I’ve used other cameras before, and the delete process seemed simpler on my last one. I found the Olympus menu a bit confusing. Are all Olympus cameras this complicated?
