Diese Funktion ist nur im Web verfügbar.
What is this?
With Delete album you remove a photo album permanently along with all photos it contains. This action cannot be undone — deleted images are gone.
Deletion is suitable when an album was created by mistake, exists in duplicate or its content is no longer needed.
How to delete an album
- Open the "Photos" area and click the album.
- Pick "Delete album" (in the three-dot menu or under "Edit album").
- Confirm the safety prompt.
- The album and all photos are removed immediately.
Check before deleting
- Are there photos you want to keep? > Download them beforehand
- Was the album public? > Content disappears from the website immediately
- Are there links to notifications or events? > Those become invalid
Alternative: only delete individual photos
If only specific photos should go, delete them individually through the photo detail view. That way the album remains with the rest.
Permission
You need photo_albums.edit to delete albums. By default choir directors, the board and photo administrators have this permission.
Tips
- Download the most important photos beforehand — gone is gone.
- For public albums: take the link off the website or out of emails beforehand if you have linked to it externally.
- Use "Set visibility to internal" instead when you only want to take the album off the public side but keep it for members.
