how to free space on Photobucket?

[alyctes]

Can anyone enighten me about this please? I'm running up against space limitations, but removing pictures seems to make no difference. I'm confused.

I'd be grateful for any info. Thanks.

How many photos have you go up there?

I thought I had a lot yet my free account is only 1% full...

Try refreshing the page or logging out and back in after deleting some to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the advice. I've got about 350 pics, apparently. The account is 81% full. Removing a picture makes almost no difference. Logging out and in again has no effect that I can see.

I've got almost 1000 pictures on mine...

Do you have any videos stored on there? A few very large files might account for the lack of space and the fact that deleting the more normal sized images makes little difference.

Nope, no videos. Just JPEGs, almost all of basses.

I was wondering if there was a manual switch or similar. IIRC Microsoft Access has a similar thing where you can't free up database space except by using a VB command.

Set up another account.

Or just use a less annoying and poorly designed site. No idea why people still use that terrible broken ad-ridden site. postimg.org is great for single images, maybe flickr for whole albums?

Ads on Photobucket? Not with an ad-blocker. Then the site works just fine.

Try from a phone, it's slow, really badly designed and the navigation behaves like it was designed by someone on ketamine.

But pretty much all of the internet including this site is pretty crap on a phone. So tell me something new.
