If you have ever tried deleting photos from an old Blogger blog, you may have discovered that it can be a truly frustrating experience. To begin with, deleting the posts that the photos were in will not delete the photos. You must remove the photos separately from Google's data servers. There is no button on Blogger to delete the photos. Instead, Google instructs that the following procedure be followed:
First, visit Google Album Archive.
Go to the folder "Photos from Blogger."
Go to the blog name to view all the pictures uploaded to that particular blog.
Open the photo or album you want to delete.
Click on More options and then Delete photo or Delete album option.
Somewhat tedious but simple, right? Not in my case or that of others.
If there is no "Photos from Blogger" folder or the blog name is missing or no photo album or the photos you want to delete are not listed in the archive, what should you do?
Once I realized that the procedure above didn't work, I began researching the topic of deleting photos from Google and discovered that Google has a glitch. This glitch prevents photo albums from showing up in some Google Album Archives. The photos are still on Google. You can see them in your blog posts and they will show up in your browser if you know the photo's exact url. You just cannot delete them.
For example, take a look at the following comment/request for assistance from another Blogger publisher...
