I assume you are talking about photos in your Photos app.


If they are sequential in the all photos view, you can just select them all (Click the first, then hold the shift key and click the last), and go to image>delete. If they are scattered about, then it may be easier to first gather them into an album, and delete from there (you need to also press the CMD key to delete from an album).
