  I deleted all of my images stored in my media library since they were already used in posts. Now many of my pictures do not show up in my posts. Do I have to keep them uploaded in my library always?

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

  If you delete an image from the media library it will be deleted from the Posts and Pages where it was used – the only fix is to upload the images again – they need to stay in the media library

  Only some of them are deleted now. Does it take a while to delete all of them? If I upload them all again, will I have to insert them back into each individual post, or will they automatically show up back into the post?

  Images are cached for faster page loading and it can take up to three days for the cache to clear. You are seeing the cached images, deleted images will all go away in the next day or so

  You will need to insert the images into the Post – sorry no short cut to glory
