Master the Gallery: How to Delete Images on the Midjourney Website
Managing your AI art portfolio is just as important as creating it. Whether you are clearing out accidental upscales, removing variations that didn’t quite hit the mark, or simply organizing your creative space, knowing how to clean up your gallery is essential.
While generating art happens primarily via Discord or the web creation portal, the official Midjourney website is your central archive. Here is a complete, step-by-step guide to permanently deleting images from your account.
Step 1: Log In to Your Midjourney Account
To begin, open your desktop or mobile browser and navigate to the official website at Midjourney.com. Click Sign In and authenticate using your linked Discord or Google account credentials to access your personal dashboard.
Step 2: Navigate to Your Archive or Showcase
Once logged in, look at the sidebar menu (typically on the left side of the screen):
Click on Archive or My Images (depending on the current UI layout version) to view your entire generation history.
Scroll through your timeline or use the search/filter bars at the top to locate the specific grid or upscaled image you want to remove.
Step 3: Open the Image Actions Menu
Midjourney provides two primary ways to delete items depending on whether you are removing a single image or bulk-managing your gallery:
For a Single Image: Hover your mouse over the image thumbnail. Look for the ... (More Options) icon or the Trash Can icon that appears in the overlay menu. Alternatively, click the image to open its full lightbox view, where the options menu sits in the top-right corner.
For Bulk Deletion: Click the Select or Organize button at the top of your archive. Click on multiple images to highlight them, then look for the batch action toolbar that appears at the bottom or top of your screen.
Step 4: Confirm the Deletion
Click Delete or the red Trash icon. The website will show a confirmation prompt warning you that this action cannot be undone. Confirm the prompt, and the image will be scrubbed from your public showcase and personal archive.
Important Things to Keep in Mind
The Discord Connection: Deleting an image on the Midjourney website removes it from your web gallery, but it does not automatically delete the message or generation from your private Discord DMs or server channels. To remove it from Discord entirely, you must react to the original image generation message with the ❌ (cross mark) emoji.
Permanent Action: Once an image is deleted from the website database, its unique job ID is removed from your profile. Make sure to download a high-resolution copy to your local device first if you think you might want the art later.
Stealth Mode vs. Deletion: If you are a Pro or Mega plan subscriber using Stealth Mode to keep your images hidden from the public Midjourney community feed, you don’t necessarily need to delete images just to keep them private. They are already hidden from everyone but you!
