Yes, it can.
Because I come from a film background I still tend to think in that
way and so it has only been very recently that I started deleting any
images at all.
I mean when we shot a roll of film we didn't cut out the bad
exposures, we just left them as part of the whole.
So my letting this get so bad is actually out of habit more than poor
workflow or laziness: I haven't been in the habit of deleting rejects
and so I sometimes forget todo it.
Deleting rejects in Lightroom is very simple.

I'm curious. Keeping in mind that I don't use Lightroom, how is
your workflow that you aren't ready to do that during the edit? Are
you under some sort of time pressure to get a print out and then
further time pressure to move on to the next client? Can you set
aside an hour each week to do that sort of housekeeping so it
doesn't come down to the situation you're in now?
I use Bridge to edit. It allows me to just hit delete to discard a
file from the original capture. Once I've completed the edit and
processed the keepers, everything else gets burned to DVD and
discarded off my hard drive then and there. Can that work with
Lightroom?
