Repost from another community. They recommended that I post here:

Edit: I mean I accidentally posted to the perchance public gallery, not to lemmy. I’m an idiot, and I need help. I might have accidentally uploaded an embarrassing image with names in it to the public image gallery. I’m not even sure I did, but it’s possible. I’m worried that someone I know will see it. It’s not been upvoted from what I can see, since it’s not “trending” or “best.” I can’t find it in recent because it’s already deeply buried. My questions:

Any way I can delete it? Will it get auto deleted after a while? If so, do you know how long? Will it appear on google images? Do I have any recourse? Do I even need to be worried? Thank you, and sorry for being so dumb.

    I thought I saw a post just in the last day or two about deleting uploaded images - it was a lemmy-wide thing but I can’t remember if it was a “coming-soon” type feature or something already available.

      Yeah I know people have been asking for it. I’d love to know if images get deleted eventually. They must, right?
