How do I delete a photo? I thought I'd taken the photo myself, but turns out it's a copyrighted photo from Find a Grave!

Open the edit screen for the image, and scroll down the left side till you see: People & Things in the Image:  

Listed there are the profiles that the image is on, with the option to Remove them ,  You will then see the padlock turn Red  The picture will vanish during a future update of the system.

eta:  If you message the FAG person that uploaded the image, asking for permission to use it, they will usually grant that. I include a link to the WikiTree profile where I will be using the pic.   Have not had anyone say no so far,  and once they started emailing me more pictures, and then joined WikiTree.
