I went ahead and put a video together to help you delete and resize photos you have already posted and maybe help you understand a little more how things work....
check it out
Deleting Files & Resizing Images VIDEO (http://www.mxwebsites.com/deletingfiles.html)
If you need Addtional Disk space you can UPGRADE and purchase more space at anytime from your control panel! Just click the "Upgrade Center" Button. . .
Mike, I've watched the video again...but I still delete the files and they come back. I've done it exactly how you did it, but maybe I'm missing something.
Mike, I'm also putting pictures on, and sometimes it shows up as a box with red X in it on the actual site, it shows the picture while I'm in 'edit' but not on the site.-wink

Images won't load if you have used all your disk space and cause the dredded red X! Go in and clean out some photos or resize some photos and copy them back on using the file manager to reduce the file sizes, watch the video posted.
If needed I can login download your photos resize them and copy them back on.
Yeah, I've downsized the photos I'm using now, but just flat out want to delete some of the photos, but it won't stay deleted.
you can go in and delete ALL the pictures with size over 100!
I tried to go in and delete them again...but got this:
Unable to remove file /httpdocs/custom/reynabikes2.jpg: filemng rm -rf failed: filemng: Command line argument number 4 is unsafe.
That was on all the files I tried deleting

I went in and logged into your "file manager" then click on HTTPDOCS the folder that has ALL your website files and folders. Went in and deleted some photos that were 500k and up. I also deleted a bunch that were 0k (dead files) You had some 100k+ and 200k files that need to be resized as well. NO JPEG photos should be more than 100k if so they haven't been resized small enough. 640x480 or 800x600 is the image size that works best.
PICTURES SHOULD BE JPEG FILES!
Simply go to the file manager and go thru the photos by viewing them, saving them then resize them and reupload them
DO ALL OF THIS THRU THE FILE MANAGER!
