Deleting an image within a obsidian file

You don’t have to go to source view or do any manual searching. Just move your cursor into the image, and you’ll see the file in the link. Right-click on the name of the file in the link, and you’ll get a context menu.

  • You can “Open link” and it will open the image in a pane. You can delete from the menu there.
  • You can “Reveal file in navigation” which will show the file in your sidebar File Explorer pane. You can delete from there.
  • You can “Show in system explorer”, which will open your computer’s file system. You can delete from there.
  • You can just delete the link and leave the image in your vault. Then, there are community plugins which can detect and find unused attachments, and remove them. Discussion here: Remove unused attachments

(EDIT: Your screenshot looks like maybe mobile? I don’t know how relevant any of those ideas are in mobile, but I assume there are similar commands.)
