It was the pic size. Apparently the "selector" button on my camera moves very easy, so easy that I didn't notice that it had been moved to a different selection.
Thanks everyone for the input. But there is still no way that I can figure out on how to delete pics out of the up loader.
So where is the uploader? It's totally gone for me.
I give up. The best I could do was create a "junk" folder within the uploader's "home" folder and dump the old stuff in it so I didn't have to look at it anymore.
