    Solution

    You can either select and erase images one by one or erase them in one batch. Protected images will not be erased.
    IMPORTANT
    Once an image is erased, it cannot be recovered. Make sure you no longer need the image before erasing it. To prevent important images from being erased accidentally, protect them. Erasing a RAW+JPEG image will erase both the RAW and JPEG images.
