We're sorry, but you currently are over your quota for allowed disk space.
Please remove images from your gallery to free up more space.

Does anyone know how to remove images from their gallery, I haven't been able to find a "delete" option.

Hi Ross,

Go into your gallery.

Double click on the photo that you want to delete.

When it enlarges it will have a set of little icons underneath it.

One of these icons should look like a little photo with a bandaid/plaster across the corner of it....That's the "edit" icon.

Click on this icon, and another page will open, and there is a "delete" option at the bottom of this page.

I notice your photos in your gallery are MASSIVE, and I can see why they have taken up too much space.

I found that reducing the photos before saving them to my gallery will give you space for a lot of photos , plus their much quicker to "upload" to the gallery.

I don't know the "proper" way to reduce any photos, but if I e-mail any shots, my computer automatically asks if I would like to make them smaller files.

So I e-mail the chosen photos to myself, choose the "reduce" option, and when they arrive, I save these smaller file/photos to a folder of photos that I want to put into my gallery.

Then when I want photos "uploaded" I get them from this collection in the file, and it takes only a few seconds to upload to my gallery.

Hope SOME of this might be a help.

I'm sure there are plenty of smarter people than I out there that can tell me/us a better "correct" way to reduce photo file sizes , without going through all that malarky.

Good Luck !

Warren Boylan.
