Question for Ray re: photos

[Guest guest]

I must be extremely dim because I've just uploaded 4 photos to the

site and I can't for the life of me find where I go to delete the

original size photo so that I don't take up any more space. I have 2

more photos I'd like to upload to share with the group but am

terrorized i'll take up even more space than what I have already.

Please advise on what exactly I need to do to make the best use of

space available - please note this means kindly provide me with " How

to upload and then delete photos for dummies " instructions.

Thank u and sorry for the hassle!
