You can't. Why would you need to remove them?

An Option that should be implemented to keep user picture files more organized.. I wonder what those members who play and post 6 to maybe 10 (Geography, Acquisitions, etc., etc. coin pictures a day every day look like..   |

They will look exactly the same as on your device. Nothing will change during the upload. If you don't crop them, they won't be cropped. Quote:

That's one of the reasons we don't allow outside image hosts; tons of people don't understand how the internet works. We literally lost thousands of topics when PB screwed everyone and went to a paid platform. |

You don't have to worry about the physical pixel dimensions; the software will resize with a click to enlarge depending on the screen size. This is 2600 pixels across and 293KB.  |

I was resizing pics with InfanView, setting the new size of the pictures to Width 800, which I see the system says no larger than 800. That's where I'm confused.. Thanks for your help... |

CoinForMe, if you don't like how a picture looks, edit it and re-upload. If you use the same file name before midnight forum time, the old file will be overwritten and vanish.

To be honest, that's more of a guideline for single sides of a coin and more for newbies who really don't understand picture editing. The system will not reject images based on pixel dimensions. It will reject anything over 300KB. I added a note to the tutorial. Quote:

There are some exceptions. Some devices (Apple, I think) will automatically save a copy when you save the edit and change the file name. |

You do have the option to name the image file. Can't you just copy and paste the image name for an overwrite?
Tbh, it sounds like a bad idea to even try that. There have been very few times when I have realized that an image has to be redone after upload. They can just be orphaned, no single file will break the bank at 300kB.
