Best way is to only delete them 1 by one. Another is to transfer files (pictures) to your computer delete the ones you don't want, format your card and then put the ones you want to keep on your camera back. You can't delete just a few pictures. I carry 3 memory cards. one just has the pictures I want to show people. I load that card from my computer. The other 2 are like great big rolls of film that let me take lots and lots of pictures without the worry of running out of film. I transfer the pictures I want to show people on my camera to the third one and keep the other 2 erased. Most of my pictures are only on my computer and backed up on DVD's.

click the trsh button and click delete all to delete all pictures and delete one to delete the one picture yuo are on..........

press menu
go to setup
scroll down to the second option: memory stick tool
go to format
re-set the format to "ok" even if it says "ok" already
press ok to all dad in memory stick will be erased, ready?

and all the pics will be deleted. thats the problem with this camera, everything is good except trying to figure out how to delete them all!!! ughh
