Can a Nikon D750 delete the same image from both SD cards in backup mode?

I use a Nikon D750 with both SD slots set to record duplicate copies for backup. When I delete an image in-camera, it only deletes the copy on the currently selected card, so I have to switch cards and delete it again. Is there any D750 setting, newer Nikon body behavior, or practical workaround for deleting from both cards at once?

I have d600 and d3 nikons. Both cameras have two card slots, but neither really allows deleting same image from two cards at once.
Cards are represented in camera as continuous folders, which can be annoying. By that I mean that images go like (if cards are called A and B) 1A,2A,3A,1B,2B,3B. So you have to scroll through all hundreds of images to get ot B card: 1A..999A, 1B..999B
I shoot either RAW(A)+JPG(B) or JPG+JPG cloning. Shooting 1000s of images a day sometime doesn't really raise problem of deleting them one by one (which I think is what you want)
So, I would say that if you shoot few images, you don't need to delete anything, just format after transferring to PC or cloud. If you shoot tons of images, you probably won't have time to delete before transfer.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
Based on the community feedback, no: on Nikon dual-slot bodies like the D750, in-camera delete only affects the image on the currently selected card. There doesn’t appear to be a setting to delete the paired copy on both cards at once.
A practical workaround is to avoid selective in-camera deletion when shooting to both cards. Instead, keep both cards intact until you’ve transferred and reviewed the files on a computer, then format the cards in-camera. That’s generally the cleaner workflow for backup recording anyway.
If you do need to remove a shot in-camera, you’ll have to delete it separately from each card.
