Trying to delete a photo , but ... the PHOTO IS STILL THERE!

Post Thu May 24, 2007 10:34 am




This is my gallery page :
http://www.pbase.com/andy_20030907

as you can see, it's all empty......



Last night I did a clean up, deleted some sensitive photos, but
I noticed that some photos remain on the server still
,

for example:
http://i.pbase.com/u32/andy_20030907/sm ... C04532.jpg
http://i.pbase.com/u32/andy_20030907/sm ... C04533.jpg
http://i.pbase.com/u32/andy_20030907/sm ... C04536.jpg
....etc


http://i.pbase.com/u32/andy_20030907/me ... C04532.jpg
http://i.pbase.com/u32/andy_20030907/me ... C04533.jpg
http://i.pbase.com/u32/andy_20030907/me ... C04536.jpg
.......etc

simply too many of them....


---------------------------------------

Seems like the HTML page does not exist any more, but the photos
under the "http://i.pbase.com/u32/andy_20030907/" directory are
still there .........




Can anyone help, is this normal ?
or Pbase is "in the process of deleting them", and it may take a while...
is so, does anyone know how long will the process take ?



I will really appreciate if anyone can just provide a little information.

Thanks very much

You'll need to give it time (several days), and you might want to delete the links in this post during the meantime. :wink:

What's worse is when you have "fill in" shots that aren't that good to begin with, and they're picked up by search engines. It can take forever for them to stop linking to them, and be removed. Sometimes, I wonder if they're ever deleted! An example is by checking "the way back machine" which you can find different versions of sites on. Some versions span for years. I'm not sure how long it might be for Pbase to flush deleted images, but you can send an email to support@pbase.com and see what they say.
:wink:
