  Site is a news aggregator that has years and years worth of images that have boated the site making it massive. We want to delete images from years ago. What is the best way to do so?

  What is the URL of your site as we can only help you with a site running on the wordpress.com platform. if your site uses the open source wordpress.org, their support is at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  Hi there, What site do you need help with?

  If you are referring to a site hosted here on WordPressdotcom, to the best of my knowledge Staff can only completely empty a site for you.

  Otherwise if you want to selectively delete images (this is permanent and will also remove those images from the related posts or pages), you can use the bulk delete function in the WP Admin Media Library dashboard.
