How to Delete Previous Attachments
From your Dogs Guide

There is a one megabyte limit to the attachment space when posting pictures on the forum. Most of us use this space rather quickly and are left with having to delete the previous attachments to gain our space back. Here's how:

Difficulty Level: Easy    Time Required: Dependant on number of attachments


Here's How:
  1. Click "Reply" or "Post New" to get to the "Compose Message screen".
  2. At the bottom of the message box, click the "Attach Files" button as usual.
  3. When your upload screen appears in a seperate window, look at the bottom of the right hand corner for the "Click here to find your old attachments" link.
  4. Click this link.
  5. You will get another window with a list of the attachments you have made in various forums.
  6. By clicking each listed attachment, you will get to your original message containing that attachment.
  7. Click the "Edit" link at the bottom of your post.
  8. In your "Edit" screen, click the red "Manage Attachments" button.
  9. A pop-up window will allow you to select each attachment and delete it.
  10. Use your "Back" button on your browser on the "Edit message" screen to return to your attachment list and delete another attachment.
  11. Click on another Attachment link.
  12. Repeat until you are finished.
