why is it that sometimes i try to copy and past

a picture and instead I get an extremely long list of letters and symbols? and how can I erase that in one shot instead of backspace line after line for 20 minutes?

@abe182 hold down what?
abe182 · 46-50, M
@reflectingmonkey your finger if you're on a phone

@abe182 I'm on a laptop

@reflectingmonkey highlight it with your mouse and hit delete or right click and cut

@abe182 I forgot to mention I am pretty much computer illiterate, but next time it happens I will try that "right click and cut", I don't know how to highlight stuff with my mouse. (and its not really a mouse its this sensitive little pad on my laptop). thanks

@reflectingmonkey hold down the left button and highlight with your other finger

@abe182 oh, great thanks, I just figured out the highlighting part, so if I wanted to erase it I would then press the delete button on my keyboard? (sorry , I don't want you to waste your time)

@reflectingmonkey you're fine. Yes press the delete button, or right click (right button) and you can choose cut copy or paste.
