What is the standard procedure for deleting files from "My Attachments"?

Since I've been a member here, there wasn't a rule on that until today.
See the new "can't edit" thread here:

Thanks!

Yes, I too cannot edit them out or delete them. If there is a way, I would delete them all. So I can have my 2 megabytes free space.

Yeah, I'd be happy to purge whatever attachments I have put up but it doesn't seem to be giving me that option.

I increased the storage limit to 20MB. Is there anyone significantly higher than this number?

[janea4old]

I can't test it now because...
Before (in the past week), with any post I made, even if not trying to attach anything, there'd be a warning that I was forbidden to attach due to being over limit, and when clicking on that warning, it would tell me how much I was over.

Now that warning is gone, but the option to attach is completely missing from the posting screen.  I can still insert an image or video hosted elsewhere via its URL, and I can still insert an "existing attachment" from any prior post because it's already hosted here.

But there is currently (on my screen) no option to attach (upload) any new image from my device, and no way to see how much I'd already attached previously.  So I cannot test to see if the new limit you set is enough.

update there's no option to attach for me, and no notification of being over limit, when starting a new post.
However, when I try to edit a post I recently made, I get the notification that I'm over limit -- so I see the notification only within the editing screen.
When I click on the notification,  it says I'm at 59 MB.  And I rarely attach anything. Maybe it was video? oh yeah there were some promos a few years ago that I attached as files because the originals were geoblocked.

I've set the lifetime storage limit to 100MB and the individual file attachment limit to 5 MB. Anything bigger than 5 MB should be hosted externally.

I think this is perfect!

How do we delete everything to free up space? Is there a way?

[Errol]

No.

Same as everyone else, I am getting a message that I am about 300% over the limit lol. I would gladly delete some old images and files but don’t see any options.

Sooo, that’s it, I guess?

Same here @Errol
