It's SO strange it's a bunch of inappropriate cartoon images (nothing illegal obviously) and from 2004-2019. I WAS NOT online in 2004 and didn't upload these.

If they are in your "Shared" tab, specifically in the "With you" tab, then you can't delete them. They are not in your OneDrive, and you need not worry about them. You can hide them if you wish by right-clicking and selecting "Hide from shared".

If they are in the "My files" tab, then they are your files, and you can delete them.

If you click on a shareable link, OneDrive files will be shared with you. So you can see how easy it is to have stuff shared with you.

I don't know what you mean. They're in my photos not in the shares file and I have zero clue how they got there.

When you hover over a photo, you should see a trash can overlay icon.
