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?

    You can order by “latest” or “recent” to see if it’s in there at least.

    What page let you just upload any ol’ image though? I know you can save ai-generated images, but didn’t know you can upload an image from your hard drive.

      What I mean is that I might have accidentally posted an image that I generated directly to the public gallery. I did not upload an image there. Sorry for the confusion.
