  why can’t i delete a media file?

  someone has flagged this for the staff to help –

  WordPress.COM is on three massive server farms with content that is accessed often being cached for quicker delivery to visitors to your blog – the media is still cached for a short time after deleting from the media library – normally the cache clears in under three days – but the staff can flush your image from the cache for you earlier

  The image is gone. I will take the staff notification off.

  If you still see the image, it’s because it’s cached in your browser. I saw it last night and today I get a 404.

  @herosjourneyentrepreneurship: I’ve just deleted the file for you, and you should be all set now. If you’re still seeing it, please try clearing your browser cache:
