Hi all,

Hope you’re able to point me in the right direction on how to achieve this!

**Scenario:**

1. Note A is created with attached images X
2. Note B is created with attached images Y
3. Note A is deleted
4. Note B is deleted
5. Note C is created with attach image Z

**Question:**

- How do we bulk delete the all images from deleted notes (i.e. delete images X, Y but NOT images Z) under JoplinProfile\resources **gracefully from the app frontend**?

**Note:**

- I’m aware Tools -\> Note Attachments is possible, however this lists all images

Thank you!
