# Deleting Pictures

Whether it’s at a guest's request or to remove content that doesn't align with your branding, you have full control over which images appear in your online gallery.

***

#### Privacy vs. Deletion

There are two ways to remove a photo from public view. The best option depends on why the photo is being removed.

* **Making a Picture Private**: This removes the photo from the general gallery view but keeps it accessible via the direct link sent to the guest. Use this if a photo isn't offensive but might not be something other guests want to see.
* **Deleting a Picture**: This completely scrubs the image from Simple Booth's servers. If a guest tries to use their original link, the image will no longer appear. Use this for inappropriate, accidental, or embarrassing content.

#### How to Manage Photos

Managing photos is done directly from the live gallery page rather than your dashboard settings.

1. **Open Your Gallery**: From your [**Galleries list**](https://app.simplebooth.com/galleries) in the dashboard, use the **Actions** dropdown and select **View Gallery**.
2. **Locate the Image**: Scroll to the photo you wish to manage.
3. **Select Your Action**:
   * **On Desktop**: Hover over the photo and click the "..." (three dots) icon.
   * **On Mobile**: Tap the photo to reveal the "..." icon.
4. **Confirm**: Select either **Make Private** or **Delete** and confirm your choice.

## Information for Event Guests

If you are a guest at an event and would like your photo removed:

* **Contact the Host**: Reach out to the event organizer or the photo booth operator directly.
* **Contact Support**: You can also [contact](mailto:support@simplebooth.com) the Simple Booth team via email.

**Please have the direct link(s) to the photo(s) ready so we can locate them for you.**
