Hi @THC123
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are curious about what you can do with the card reader on your printer. I'd like to help.
It's really limited in what can be done. You can't delete pictures from the printers display. If I knew what model of printer you have I could get you the User Guide.
HP does not produce any software, but you can access the SD card from your computer. You may be able to format or delete items.
From the printer front click the WiFi icon, the IP address appears.
From your PC access the IP by launching the Run Dialog, that can be done by clicking Start > Run or Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run..
Type \\ and the IP address into the Run dialog and click OK. (e.g. \\10.0.0.1) and click OK.
Right-click the memory_card folder and select Map network drive...
Make sure to check the Reconnect at logon option..
Then the card reader will appear as a driver under Computer..
