I can see that the image search option seems to have changed a bit since yesterday, looks new and I was super excited to see if you can simply delete images but it still appears to not have that feature, seems super odd to have provided that area a design refresh and leave out a widely requested item such as deleting image?......I feel like when you click on the 3 dots to the right, instead of image info, it would be great to be able to rename, duplicate and/or delete an image.

Uploaded images if no longer posted on any of your pages don't add any load time to your site. If deleted off the site, they, the thumbnails,  will eventually delete from the image search gallery. I personally don't use that gallery. I do everything from a very good image sort, folder making,  library and edit program on my desktop. It Is free to anyone who wants it, Sony Play Memories Home. Sqarespace doesn't treat images uploaded the way a lot of website hosting sites do.  This explains what they do with them:

Same thing with me building templates! I've started to play around.. and god I do not want the play around images in there! They'd think "geez, what is this"
I had contacted them before my comment and they said they get lots of requests but they're adding it to the list and passing it on. 
Makes you question how they've gone this long without that feature.. mind boggling!
Hopefully it's our Christmas treat!

Not super helpful but it is flagged by Dev teams. Hopefully they fix it soon, it's a fairly big oops if you ask me (and I have over 20 years experience in Enterprise SW QA).
 
 

Yes. This is super important. I just built a website for a client which I started by duplicating a site I did for another client. I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT hand it off with the first client's custom photography saved in the imported images.
So I have to build the whole site over from scratch???
OMG. Hours and hours of redundant work are ahead.
This is not ok.

Definitely following this thread. I feel this is my biggest frustration with Squarespace. Especially seeing there is a lot of trial and error with image sizing so could result in multiple uploads. 
I've been looking to see if they have "vote this feature" in anywhere like other platforms do. Because I would press is a million times!

Same here! Working on a client website and decided to try Squarespace versus my Wordpress resource. Uploaded a ton of FPOS and went to clean out the image library and learned that you can't delete imported images. WTF? Who in the world thought this was a good idea? HUGE FAIL! Without that function I will never use SquareSpace for another client website again. This client now has a TON of images that will never be used.

Hey! I'm working on a site and I played around the options (newest version of Squarespace) a lot. This uploaded the "dummy-images" on the site every time and now when browsing uploaded images it is hard to find the relevant pics.  How do I manage the images uploaded to the site? I'd really like to remove all of the unused images.
