The new Blogger interface introduced several changes that confused many users.
In the previous Blogger editor, deleting an image was very easy.
When you clicked on an image, a toolbar appeared with several options such as:
- Align
- Edit
- Delete (X icon)
You simply clicked the Delete (X) icon and the image disappeared immediately.
However, in the new Blogger interface, the delete icon is no longer visible.
Instead, when you click an image you will only see these options:
- Align left
- Align center
- Align right
- Image size
- Toggle caption
- Change image
As you can see, there is no delete button available.
