Delete media safely
Remove a library item after checking how it is used.
Add-on
Overview
Deleting media removes the library entry and its recorded usage links. It does not delete posts already published on social platforms.
Review and remove
- Inspect uses
Open the file details and check linked posts and draft usage. Arrange replacements for unfinished work that still needs it.
- Delete the item
Use the library delete action with post-edit access and read the confirmation.
- Check the library
After success, confirm the item is no longer listed.
Do not rely on the old URL
Library deletion is not a reliable way to retract every copy of an image already shared elsewhere. Keep source files you need and review public posts separately if content must be removed.
