META: Deleting Images

Submitted by Hab on August 16th, 2023 at 10:53 AM

Hey all - in anticipation of the new season, I've been looking to replace some of the images I've already used and uploaded.  When I have gone to delete those images, however, I get the following error. 

A search didn't reveal any discussion of the issue before.  Has anyone encountered this and know the solution?

As a follow up - the error states that the image is being used by another application.  Didn't have space to upload the image of the error.

Hey OP - I just tried and it worked fine. Dunno - may be a browser issue or maybe the Moms know - i doubt it's been a common question, so I'm curious to see what they say.

I've had the same issue....  the image is stored somewhere on your hard drive and until its deleted from there, you can't delete it from your image file.  

or so i was told.   I spent a bit of time trying to find the duplicate images and delete them, to no avail.... therefore you get the same tired content from me.

My #1 challenge with "There are..." currently. If that restriction on deleting photos that are too recent isn't lifted at some point here, I might run out of space soon and not be able to make the posts...

The phrase "upside down" triggered a thought - and "Smiling Faces" by The Undisputed Truth released in 1971 may reflect just how prescient the song was.   Motown is timeless.  Here are the lyrics.

Smiling faces sometimes
Pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces
Of the evil that lurks within (can you dig it?)
Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof
Oh, oh, yeah

Let me tell you
The truth is in the eyes 'cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember, a smile is just a frown turned upside down my friend
So, hear me when I'm saying
Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes, yeah
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof
(Beware) beware of the handshake
That hides the snake (can you dig it, can you dig it?)

I'm a-tellin' you beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy, (jealousy) misery (misery) envy (envy)
I tell you you can't see behind
Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes
Hey, they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof
Hey, your enemy won't do you no harm
(Rap on) 'cause you'll know where he's comin' from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice, I'm only tryin' to school ya
Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
