  Howdy –

  No problem. I can help you with that. Do not remove anything from the media library because that will create a broken image where ever that file was located on the front end of the site.

  What you want to do is open up the media library.

  https://labellaterra.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php

  Then select an image. So the first one I’m looking at is the snowy shrubbery.

  That’s going to open in a new window like this: https://labellaterra.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php?item=2597

  Now, at the bottom right of that new window, there are some links. You want to use the download file option. Then you will have a hard copy saved on your computer separate from the site.

  Please write back if you need any further help.
