  How can I delete some images in the media library? I post photos and writing to a shared blog. The media library has lots of images from other bloggers. I would like to delete them to free up space. How do I do that?

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

  I don’t recommend doing that. I recommend purchasing a space upgrade.

  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. The links in search engines will also be broken.

  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/
