How to delete images from WordPress gallery block editor
You can easily delete your pictures from WordPress using the Gutenberg Block Editor. Go to your page/post, and when you find the gallery, hover your mouse cursor over the image you want to delete.
Next, when you see the “x” button, click on it.
Now, your image will be deleted from your WordPress gallery. Click Update and your changes will be saved. Easy-peasy!
????️ Note: Deleting images from a WordPress gallery does not permanently delete the images from your Media Library. Therefore, you don’t need to re-upload them if you want to add them back or in a different gallery.
