  All I want to do is register my dissatisfaction. The new WordPress editor is awful. It is not just difficult and annoying, as new functions often are. It is terrible. I inserted an image. However, when I tried to remove the image and go back to the media library, it kept reinserting the same image that I was trying to remove. I was not able to interact with the library at all, to find new images. I don’t want to use this new editor and if I am no longer able to access the old editor, I cannot say if I will keep my blog on WordPress.

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

  Hi there!

  I’m sorry you’re having trouble using the new block editor.

  Did you use an image block to insert the image? You can remove the image by deleting the block.
  To remove a block, select the block and click the three dots right above it. Among the settings there you’ll see the option to remove that block.

  Here’s more info on working with image block in the new editor-

  If you want to switch back to the classic editor-

  Open any post for editing and click on the 3 dots on the top right corner. Scroll down and click Switch to Classic Editor at the bottom.https://imgur.com/a/Jw2vsQ0

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you. I’m happy to help.
