   I emailed the Team requesting that all my photos be deleted from their system.

         Let me know if you hear from them. Also, if I wave my mouse over the photo, there is an "X" that I click, and the image disappears. I have to do it one by one, which consumes my time . So sad.

            I heard back, and the email said I had to delete them myself. So sad.

               I have received nothing as yet. I'm also sad

   They're on the Saymedia server, so does deleting an article delete them?
   Also I've been reading about how using reader view strips metadata about the authors name and publishing date and on Blogger at least, that has to be reinserted manually.
   However, ChatGPT said that the meta author tag is no longer so important, but It generated code for me to add just in case.

      Are you still able to delete articles?  I am not seeing that option

         It's still there as an option in author view as of yesterday

         Yes, from author view.

   Spent an hour deleting photos but in the end decided to just X my own personal stuff and leave the Unsplash, Pixabay, etc. ones.
   
   Has anyone else noticed that many photos have been smooshed together into one even though they are from different articles? It makes getting rid of them twice as long as they seem to rearrange themselves all the time.
   
   Can't understand why HP can't delete the gallery contents on request.

      Bev, we've made many sane requests and suggestions with no avail. It shouldn't happen now.

      Happened to me. I had to stop and return to it, multiple times. Took me about 5-6 days, multiple rounds each day, to remove most of everything.
      
      They probably have no staff left to attend to anything.

   I've removed mine one by one some time ago. Took me a while, but I'm glad it's done. I only ever used my own photos in my articles. So sad to see it all disappear. I will miss you all.

      Yes. I will miss everyone. But there's a tremendous relief not having to deal with TAG/HP deceptions.

      I've had to do the same with deleting mine.  It takes quite a long time to "remove them" from the photo gallery.  And when I log back in, the ones I had "removed" still pop up for some odd reason.
