# Deleting an Image

{% hint style="info" %}
To delete the **current image**, use the **trash icon in the bottom-right corner** of the live image on the trap's detail screen. The steps below cover deleting older images from the gallery.
{% endhint %}

1. **Open the image gallery**
   * From the trap dashboard, scroll to the image gallery below the live image.
   * Use the left and right arrows to navigate between images if needed.
2. **Select the image to delete**
   * Click or tap on the image thumbnail you want to remove.
   * The image will open in a popup with the image view.
3. **Click the delete icon**
   * In the bottom right corner of the image view, click the trash can icon.
   * This will open a confirmation dialog.
4. **Confirm deletion**
   * In the confirmation window, click **Delete Image**.
   * The image will be permanently removed from the trap record.

#### Important Notes

* Image deletion is **permanent** and cannot be undone.
* Deleting an image does not affect trap operation, settings, or status.
* If you do not see the delete icon, ensure you have the correct permissions and that the image has fully loaded.

#### Troubleshooting

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ocutrap.com/getting-started/app/deleting-an-image.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
