  I’m trying to delete a bunch of images in my media library but nothing is getting deleted. I selected multiple images but nothing happened.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  Might have something to do with your browser or your internet speed. Have you tried deleting fewer at a time? Try five. If that works, then try ten, or fifteen at a time, and so on.

  Thanks for getting back to me. My speed is 12 mps. Even when I only select two, only the first one gets deleted.

  Hi,

  Sorry for the long delay in response. I’ve added a “modlook” tag to the sidebar to call for staff attention to the topic.

  Hi there,

  I just want to confirm, you’re trying to delete them from the media library here, correct?

  Are you using the grid-view or the list view in the library? Does it work if you switch to the other view?

  Also please try clearing your browser cache and cookies, in case that’s part of the problem:

  You might already know this, but please keep in mind that deleting an image from the library will also remove it from any posts where you’ve added it. Only do it if you are sure you no longer want that image, as there is no way to restore deleted images.
