How to delete photos or videos

Updated

It's easy to delete photos and videos from your Flickr account using a variety of methods.

Deleted photos aren't recoverable. For this reason, we recommend keeping an offline backup of your content. After a photo is deleted, all of the metadata and comments associated with it are removed from the server. If you delete a photo or video by accident, you will need to re-upload it to your account.

Note: Deleting an album willnot delete the photos it contains. Deleting all of the items from within an album will automatically remove the album from your account.

If you'd like to download all of your photos, including all of your data, go to your Flickr account settings and selectRequest My Flickr Data on the bottom right of the page.
