Erasing images on the EOS 5D Mark III

Solution

You can either select and erase images one by one or erase them in one batch. Protected images will not be erased.
  Once an image is erased, it cannot be recovered. Make sure you no longer need the image before erasing it. To prevent important images from being erased accidentally, protect them. Erasing a RAW+JPEG image will erase both the RAW and JPEG images.
