How Can I remove accidentally added photos, as a batch?

Recently I added a bunch of pics to the wrong place.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/vVHBAsRYjEtPo11n8

 

(I  captured almost all their products, when I choose to share on Google Maps, app suggested me the next door supermarket. I was on the go and shared all those pics without knowing maps app have chosen the wrong place for me)

Is there a method to delete all those pictures at once without going to one by one and selecting delete?

 

PS: even after deleting some pics, they still appear on the place's pictures 🤔

@RajievR you can delete your own photos. Click on "Your contributions", then "Photos", and the photos you want deleted, click on the 3 dots on top right of the small photo and it will give you option to delete the photo.

Hello @RajievR,

This happens when you delete photos using your cell phone. I recommend you to try removing those photos using pc. 

 

Best of luck

Thanks @TheEagleEye, but

I want to delete a a batch at once, not one by one

This helped a bit @deepakjhic. It's a bit easier to delete this way. But it's not a batch operation too

However, the deleted pictures keep showing up again after I refresh.

Hello @RajievR,

Good to know that you were able to delete photos but later the appear again. Unfortunately there is no way to delete photos in a batch. 

 

This is weird that the photos appear again. Let me tag here connect moderator @ErmesT if he can help you in this.

It is unusual that they reappear @RajievR it may just be stale cached data. Try checking them from a browser in incognito mode.

 

Generally speaking you would only add a small number of photos to a place, not every single product. Crowding the entry with photos just makes it hard to use and can trigger spam protection.

I logged in from another new device just now and still can see the deleted pics @PaulPavlinovich

 

BTW, if I can cover the whole store (items) why shouldn't I?

Yes deleting photos is a pain @RajievR but it's even worse when you cannot see your photos in your post 😞
