This wizard will be available with our new release of the site sometime next week.
In the mean time you can move old images to the deleted folder. Go to the Image Management screen and do a search for images. You have the option to search for all images older than a number of days that you specify. You can exclude images that are in active listings, saved listings, or in profiles. Then you can select these images 100 at a time and delete them. Once the wizard is in place you won't have the limitation of only being able to delete 100 at a time.

I've tried what you suggested. Check marking the entire list of images and clicking delete does nothing.
There is no way to bulk delete, or bulk move images to a "delete folder" since no such folder exists

Spencer,
I have found that when I select the box to exclude active listings, I still get some images set for deletion that are in active listings. How can I safely and effectively delete all these old images without losing any links.

I keep getting an error message when trying to use the Image Deletion Wizard. Is anyone else experiencing this and is it something that will be fixed this week?
Yes I too am getting pictures listed that are in active listings even when I check the box to exclude them.
I'm not using the Wizard (went to yesterday, but it's gonna delete what it wants without showing you first what it's going to delete so I don't trust it)
But.....went to delete some photos just now and got this error message (yet a new glitch - never seen it before)
Errors occured attempting to deleted one or more of the selected images permanently.

on the third try it deleted the images. btw there is a small note that any deletions can be undeleted for two weeks.
How do I get a listing of images used in listings that sold. I do one of a kind listing and any item that is sold can have the images deleted but I can't find any way to do that.
Hello, everyone. I cannot get my pics to upload. Anyone Else???
