There are a couple of photos I uploaded that I want permanently deleted, how do I remove them?

Thank you.

Yes - I have noticed that, once you upload an image - you are "stuck with it"...

And, even though it is 'declared' that "any unused images will be deleted within an hour" (or, something similar to that) -- it does not happen.

:p

If you're talking about pictures in an album, you can:
Click on your album.
Click the picture you want to delete.
Click "Edit picture". (It's above the picture.)
Check the box that says "Delete picture".
Click "Save changes". :)

Thank you, but no, I am talking about when you click 'Upload' and it takes you to the manage attachment screen. :)

Maybe something for the admin(s) to look into. If we do not want photos on there, then it is just a waste of valuable space for something else.

Are you referring to the avatar upload, the profile picture upload or the general photo album uploads?

I do see here that if you go to settings and choose 'attachments' it shows everything that has ever been uploaded... I personally have the option to select and delete them, but as a moderator I know I am given options to delete things that normal users are not. So I'm not entirely sure if you have that ability as well...

If there are certain images that you would prefer were removed, I'm sure I could delete them for you. Taking in mind that we are fine with removing images from profiles. (we will not delete them from forum posts if they disrupt the coninuity of the thread.)

Thank you for your reply. I am referring to the general photo album uploads. In the upload screen, there is a 'storage space' which you select which uploaded photos you want to add as attachments. Now, with the settings/attachments, you can delete the photos from your album(s), but they still remain in the 'storage space', so it really just removes them as an attachment but keeps them still. There seems to be noway to permanently delete them from there.
