when backing up photos, I can't see picture icons , only the name of each jpeg

Thanks for reply. On the menu of the SSD under “view” you have the option of showing the “icon” and I had done that. But the icon for each photo is blank with a generic filler, with no small image of the photo.   that is the problem. As I said, you have to open each picture to see what it is. the icon doesn’t show it. And you can’t click back and forth and delete quickly. you have to open the photo to see it, and delete it and open the next one. you can’t open one in something like Microsoft Viewer and toggle back and forth.
