Remove vs. Delete Options

As you add media to Mylio Photos, you may find files that don’t belong in your Mylio Photos Library. Mylio Photos’ direct control over your file system allows you to remove a folder and its contents from your Library (or delete it, when necessary).

*NOTE: Only top-level folders can be removed. For example, if you have a folder called Animals, and it includes two sub-folders called Zebras and Elephants, you can’t remove the Elephants folder without removing the top-level Animals folder (and its other sub-folders) as well.
