How do you delete your attachments?

Recommended Posts

You have to edit the specific posts and then click the delete button for the specific attachment.

I verified that it did remove if from my list of attachments and the total space used.  Better hope there are just one or two culprits that are taking up the most of your space.  Kind of tedious.

Just tried this method. It did not work for me. The posts are all edited but I still have the same list of attachments and I'm still shown as exceeded.

I guess it's just time to accept that I'm not allowed to ever post a picture on this website again.

Why did we switch to this terrible host site again?

4. The delete button is a tiny garbage can on the image itself:

5. After deleting the image, I save the updated post.

Also, I didn't select this particular host for the discussion board, but it's light years ahead of where we were.

The 5 MB max for all attachments is pretty weak sauce though.  

Each image in this post is a screen shot that I ctrl+v pasted, no upload, no saving, just pasting.

I've already remove the images from some of the posts but they still show up in my attachments with no option to remove.

So what I've been doing on my phone...

 

Top bar there is a + for creating new things which pulls up a menu.

Select gallery image

Choose member gallery

Follow steps to upload picture (possible in a new album I've got a couple albums now)

Upload the picture

Then copy paste the URL for posting purposes

 

Convoluted maybe but it works!
