Hi

I am trying to find a way to select multiple images at once but cant find it to work. It only selects 1 image when I try with select and shift for 80 images. Neither if I try with "select>select all". The only answer I see are related to variants but these are not variants. I want to be able to select all those images recently imported and delete from both capture one and the disk.

  Where are you trying to delete them from? If you go to Recent Imports, that won't do it, because that is just a virtual collection showing the images that you have in fact imported. 

  But if you go to the actual folder where the images are located, in the Library tool of Capture One, you can select and delete them there. But make sure that the button for Edit Selected is switched on (icon looking like three rectangles) or it will only melted the primary variant. (And believe it or not they are all variants in Capture One's terminology. It's like saying the supermarket only stocks one variety of apples - they are still a variety.)

  Ian, thanks, too.
  Small setting, big effect.
