So I think one of the reasons why old pictures of WIPs and such seldom get removed from the gallery is because it's really kind of a pain to delete a group of pictures. My question is: How hard would it be to implement a "Delete this gallery" option, allowing you to remove multiple images at once? That way, you could put all your images into a WIP gallery, and then after you have no interest in the WIP pictures anymore, just wipe them all simultaneously.

I know it may seem a bit strange from an individual user, but we generally don't want images deleted from the gallery, even those that are WIP.

Obviously blurry or otherwise terrible pics are an exception, but typically we don't want images deleted because you never know when someone is using your image linked to somewhere else...and when you delete it, the image then turns into the dreaded red X.

We want people to have the confidence that if they link to a picture from the Dakka gallery that 1 year, 2 years, etc, down the road, those links will still work (knock on wood).

So we actually don't want to make it simple for big swathes of pictures to be removed at once.
