HELP - Windows 8 (tablet) problem

[David W. Richardson]

Okay, if you have a tablet (or phone, I suppose) with Windows 8, then I have a question.


I took some test photos with the camera on my new Dell Venue 8 Pro. Now I want to delete them. I went through the correct steps, but the "Photos" app still shows one of the photos on the icon. When I go into the app, the photo still appears -- but when I try to delete it again, I get the message that the photo has already been deleted.


So how do I get rid of this photo???

Can you change the icon photo then try to delete the problem files again.

How do I change the icon photo? It appears Windows just randomly chose that photo for the icon.

Keep in mind that I'm on a tablet, so I don't have the ability to 'right click' on anything.

I appreciate your help!

Okay, I found the answer.

I opened the 'Photos' app. Then I swiped from the right to get to the 'Settings' option.

In 'Settings', I tapped 'Options'.

It gave me only one option to set -- "Shuffle photos on the Photos tile" ON or OFF. I turned it OFF.

Problem solved! The Photos tile now just shows the default icon, and the deleted photo is now gone.

Hooray!
