Why can't I delete photos within a collection easily in Library mode?

I use LR2, incase you were wondering.

Essentially I'm wondering why the delete option isn't present when I'm in Library mode within a collection.

For example, if I browse the entire catalog and right-click on a file, I am given the option to delete, however, if I'm within a collection, I'm only given the option to "remove from collection".

If I select multiple files at once within the entire catalog it gives me the option to delete them all at once, however, I cannot do this when I'm within a collection...

In short, I don't want to have to find the specific files in my collection that I want to delete then go back and find them in the catalog... I just want to delete them in the collection...

I know about CTRL+ALT+Shift+DEL, but that's a mighty-awkard combo and it only allows me to delete one image at a time.

Any tricks/shortcuts? Thanks!

This is just how the program is designed, nothing to do about it (as far as i know).

What you could do is mark each photo with a reject flag (X-key), and once you want to delete them all, go to "All photos" and delete them (Ctrl-Backspace).

That'll work. Thanks!
