Dumb question but I cant find a delete option / button, I have done in the past but things seem to be different. Cant figure it out, please help.

Thanks

In case i'm not being clear, I mean deactivate / delete one of my own images on istock. Thanks

ou have to go to the image page. You can't do it from your details page.

I did that, did not see anything for deleting or deactivating my image. Just so I am understanding, click on one of the images from the details page right? The same way you would edit an image, change the keywords or categories, correct? Where the heck is the delete button?

No, not the edit page.  The image page.

Click on the image to go to the download page. On the right there is an "Administration" text link below the middle of the page. Click on that, enter a reason in the box, and then click the "Deactivate" button.

I know that it is an old thread.
But today I have tried to delete an image and I did not found the "Desactivate" button
When I click on "Administration" nothing happens�

Edit:
I have found that they moved it in an "impossible" place�

Hey iStock! Why to do more simple when you can make more complex?

Anyway, since this thread has been revived, it might be worth reiterating that simply deactivating a file from iStock does not automatically delete them from the PP, e.g. Thinkstockphotos and photos.com. You'd need to go through CR to get them off the PP, and that could take some time.

Funny, I just deactivated a file today and had to look up the thread where I asked for instructions. They make it very difficult to figure out.

I just double checked to be sure deactivated files aren't there, and I see only 1/5 of my port is on TS, quite a lot of old stuff.

I'm feeling a bit dumb here, but I can't find the deactivate button anywhere. Can someone help a slightly old and near sighted photographer find it. Speak slowly. Thanks.

That's the same as it was when they were closing down StockXpert and people had the option to remove images. Back then we had to (you'll love this) Give them a list of file numbers to remove. No kidding, that's what the messages said.

I wrote and asked if they could delete everything and must have hit some luck, because everything was removed. Either that or I had so few, it was something that someone could find and do?

Search by your name, copy the file numbers, send a request to IS to have them all deleted. And I think that was one of those, StockXpert is a different division dodges at the time as well.

But bottom line. Self deletion didn't work.

Deactivation of IS files is another issue.

This and the complaints others with invisible partner programs is exactly why we don't need 100 little agencies, doing creative marketing and selling our rights to unknown sources. I know people keep arguing that we need the small ones. I suppose, it generates more traffic here with all the complaints?  Not much else.

My experience is exactly the opposite.  Images I've deactivated on iStock disappear from Thinkstock within a few days.  On the other hand, removing images from StockXpert has no effect on Thinkstock, or at least it hasn't yet (more than two years later).
