# Cannot fully delete image from folder

 * This plugin is really useful, I don’t imagine WP without it anymore.
 * But when I try to delete image.jpg, ‘Delete permanently’, it disappears, good.
   
   Then after edit the new ‘image.jpg’ that I want to upload, a completely new pic,
   it detect that the image has NOT been removed and creates a new pic ‘image-1.
   jpg’.
 * The solution I adopt is connecting FTP to the server and find manually the folder,
   and there I can see there it still is the first and the second image (with all
   the different resolutions). I proceed to remove them, and then I can upload the
   image again to Media Library Folders plugin.
 * Is this normal? I’d appreciate to know if I’m doing something wrong.
    Thanks!

 * On my test site, in the media library I used the delete permanently to delete
   an image and I verified that it and its thumbnails were deleted. Then I when 
   to the folder in Media Library Folders, the image I deleted was gone and I delete
   another image and verified that it was deleted. So normally, if you delete it
   in the standard media library page or the Media Library Folders, then the image
   and its thumbnails should be removed.
 * If you have some configuration issues with your server, then WordPress may not
   have permission or ownership of the file to delete it. Ask you host provider 
   about this.
