How do I delete all pictures on my Nikon Coolpix L1 Digital Camera?

Digital Camera Printers
I am currently uploading all the photos (1342) and once it is done I want to delete everything off the memory card, because I put my memory card in my printer, and it is uploading them to save to my computer. Once I put the memory card back in the camera, the pictures will still be here, but I can’t figure out how to delete them all. And obviously, deleteting 1,342 pictures at once will take forever. Please help!

just format the card…it WILL erase everything on it… which is your desire…and its always a good idea when you want an empty card, to format it rather than just erase them all.
to format…with the card in the camera …go to Setup menu and scroll down to "Format Memory/Format Card"… select it and click Format after the "Will erase all" warning comes up. on the next screen select "Format"… not "Quick Format". Reason being…if you just had 1342 picutures on that card you want a FULL format… a Quick format is really not a full delete…but just a delete of the card status info. It will take some time to finish depending on your card size…but this is good preventive maintenance. One of the main reasons people get card error and corrupt memory cards is because they dont format often.
Dont listen to this uninformed answer below who said just use delete all. Even the Nikon L1 manual tells you format regularly (page 46)
good luck
