When you select some photos in "All Photos" the delete key ⌫ should suffice to delete the photos, also also the menu entry "Image > Delete" should work. Or is the "Recently Deleted" album too full? How many photos have you selected for deletion? Can you delete a photo, if you select only one photo or just a few?

You should be seeing "All Photos" in the toolbar, if Library is selected in the sidebar.

Like this:

If All Photos does not show, the Photos window may be too small, or you are in Full Screen Mode, with the toolbar and sidebar disabled. Then leave Full screen Mode and check, if the Toolbar is now showing All Photos.

If your Photos window is very small, drag the corners to enlarge it.

I do get the All Photos in the toolbar and manage to reduce the screen size, so that I can see most photos. The problem is that there is no " delete" anywhere. using the "delete" button has no effet. Dragging the photo to the trash bin does not work either. I still have too many photos and/or duplicates to get rid of.
