π‘ If you’re unsure about deleting, consider downloading a backup first.
π Deleting Password-Protected Images

Even if an image is protected, deleting it ensures that no one else can view or access it again.
π‘ When Should You Delete an Image?
Here are some common reasons for deleting images:
π You uploaded the wrong file
π The content is outdated or no longer needed
π The link was shared in error
π You want to remove private or sensitive material
π Youβve re-uploaded an updated version
