Can I Delete Images From Squarespace Library?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:31 am

As you probably know, you can’t delete images from your Squarespace Library. Once an image is in
your Library, it’s there for good. This is intentional so you don’t accidentally delete an
image you may need in the future.

However, there are a few workaroundsthat can help you “delete” images from your Library.

1. Remove the image from all pages and collections.

If you remove an image from all pages and collections where it’s being used, then it will no
longer show up in your Library. Of course, this only works if you never plan to use the image
again. Otherwise, you’ll just have to add it back to your Library later.

PRO TIP: If you delete an image from your Squarespace library, any pages or blog posts that use that image will display a broken image icon instead.

2.

Delete the entire page or collection.

If you delete a page or collection that contains an image, then the image will also be deleted
from your Library. Again, this only works if you’re sure you never want to use the image again. If
you change your mind later, you’ll have to upload the image to your Library again.

3. Use a plugin or script to hide the images from your Library

If you’re a developer or comfortable working with code, then you can use a plugin or script to hide
images from your Squarespace Library. This way, the images will still be available on your site, but
they won’t show up in your Library anymore.
