Deleting photos
-
Hi, I have a question. If I delete a photo from my media library, does it delete the photo from the blog post it was used in? So do I need to keep photos that are on active blog posts?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Images and media you upload into your media library and embed into posts and pages are on wordpress.COM servers. They remain visible unless or until you delete them from your media library. Deleting them from your media library also removes them from every place you embedded them in the blog and leaves behind broken links.
Staff cannot restore images you delete from your Media Library. You have to upload them all again, and then fix every broken image link in every post/page it was embedded into previously. You may be able to locate them in Google’s image cache or in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
If you upload lots of images you can exhaust that free space allocation quickly. Currently, the only way to get an extra space allocation after you upload the images again, is to purchase an upgrade bundle. https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/
