Hint:
Looks to me like you are creating the same label over and over again.

count += 1
then lable+(count) = whatever

You could take each labelobject an append it to a list.

Try something like this:

    label = list(range(len(files)))
    for k, fname in enumerate(files):
        image = Image.open(filedir+"/"+fname)

        image.thumbnail((160, 240))
        photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
        label[k] = Label(image=photo)
        label[k].image = image # keep a reference!
        #label[k].pack()  # pack when you want to display it
 
 
        #print files
    return ...

        photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
        label[k] = Label(image=photo)
        label[k].image = image # keep a reference!
        #label[k].pack()  # pack when you want to display it


        #print files

Is this line correct
label[k] = Label(picSet, image=photo)
if earlier in the code
picSet = Tk()

I get TclError: image "pyimage75" doesn't exist

However if i remove picSet it puts large spaces in the root window but no pics showup

in the process of debugging i separated the problem of the script now this gives me the blank spaces in the root window but no images and no errors

Some ideas. First, tkinter does not display all image types. I do not think that it will display a JPG but am not sure. Convert some pictures to a gif and see it that works. Second, "file" is a reserved word and so should not be a variable name, Third, you are not iterating through the entire list of files because of the delete in the for loop. Append the names you want to keep to a second list. Also, you don't have to create a list of n elements, just append as you go along (see below). Finally, if you don't know about effbot, it is a good reference. http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/label.htm

    photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
    this_label = Label(root, image=photo) 
    this_label.pack()  # pack when you want to display it
    label_list.append( this_label )
picSet.mainloop()
label_list = []
for k, fname in enumerate(files):
    image = Image.open(filedir+"/"+fname)
    ##((width, height))
    image.thumbnail((160, 240))
    photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
    this_label = Label(root, image=photo) 
    this_label.pack()  # pack when you want to display it
    label_list.append( this_label )
picSet.mainloop()

Tkinter is somewhat finicky about persistent images. Take a look at this example where I had to create a photo list to make the label list work. Not quite sure how those two lists connect:
