Editors can delete assets from their networks.

You may occasionally need to remove assets from stories. This is a permanent, community-wide action so proceed with caution.

Delete an image

You can delete images that were manually uploaded to Chorus. If you need to delete an image from a service like USA Today or Getty, please contact us with the Chorus image URL.

  1. Open a story that has the image.
  2. Double-click the image to open the sidebar.
  3. Hit Open in asset manager. This will search for assets by URL.
  4. In the ellipsis menu, select Delete.
  5. To confirm you’re absolutely sure that you want to delete the image from any story in Chorus, type in DELETE in all caps.
  6. Hit Delete.

After deleting an image, audiences will see a placeholder image in any related stories. Most networks use a custom image, but you can see the standard Chorus placeholder image.

  3. In the ellipsis menu, select Delete.
  4. To confirm you’re absolutely sure that you want to delete the file from any story in Chorus, type in DELETE in all caps.
  5. Hit Delete.
