What Happens When I Delete a Photo from a Gallery?

Deleting a photo from your gallery can impact other areas where the image is used, such as blogs, slideshows, and orders. Below is a guide on how to delete a photo and what to expect when you do.

In your gallery’s Photos tab, select the image(s) you want to delete.
A Selected Items menu will appear at the top. Click Manage Photos and select Delete from the drop-down menu.

Important: Before deleting an image, check where it is being used to avoid affecting slideshows, blogs, or client orders.

Deleting a photo from a gallery does not automatically remove it from any slideshows that include it.
The deleted photo will still appear in the slideshow as it was when originally published.
To update a slideshow, manually edit it in the Slideshow editor and remove the image.

Deleting a photo from a gallery does not remove it from any blog posts.
The deleted photo will still be displayed in the blog as it was when originally published.
To update a blog, manually edit it in the Blog editor and remove the image.
Once the photo is removed, changes will be reflected automatically anywhere the blog is embedded—no need to regenerate the embed code.

Deleting photos that are part of an order (on hold, processing, or recently shipped) can cause significant issues.
If a deleted image is replaced with another file of the same filename, any on-hold orders will be updated automatically.
If a deleted image was part of an on-hold or processing order, it will trigger a "Deleted Photos" error, preventing the order from moving forward.
To resolve this error, reupload the photo with the same filename and select Replace.
If an order has already shipped, deleting the photo may cause issues with future updates or reorders.

Important: To avoid disruptions, do not delete any photos associated with orders unless you are certain they are no longer needed.
