Remove Images from My Photos?

Discussion

I would like to clean up my "My Photos" gallery. How do I remove the images?

Here's what I tried from within "My Photos" using IE 11:

**Clicked "Edit" under the image.

**Unchecked the box "Check this box to include photo in your gallery".

**Clicked the "Update Photo" button.

**A message indicated the photo was updated.

**Closed the page and then reloaded it. The image remains.

I am wondering if this is a bug, or am I doing something wrong, or am I stuck with the images I no longer want to keep in "My Photos"?

Any help will be appreciated. :smile:

Preston,
You did everything correctly, the gallery goes through a cycle before the images are removed, generally 24 to 48 hours is what it takes for mine to get gone. There have been several images however that will remain in my gallery even after unchecking the 'Include in my Gallery' item. I changed the title to '?' for those images and emailed Jim about the situation and he removed all the '?' titled images I had for me.

Thanks, Mike!

I didn't know about the cycling of the database. It seems to me that going through the procedure should remove the image(s) immediately.

I e-mailed Jim a link to this thread, so let's see what he says.

Thanks again,

Preston, I deleted the photos manually. I'm not sure why they did not auto-delete once you unchecked the box so there may be a glitch.

If anyone sees this again please let us know!

Jim
