Sometimes in my zeal to customize my Plex, I download posters from [Thetvdb.com](http://Thetvdb.com) and save them into the Season folders, then I click on the pencil to edit the Season info and go to poster on the left in the edit dialog.Some nights I forget to change to the correct Season and end up with Season 2 posters in Season 3. Here’s the feature request. A right click menu item “delete poster” so I can highlight the poster that I added by mistake and delete it. Love Plex soo much. Thanks to all the developers for the best software in the world!! ---

why not just change it to the correct poster? I am confused why you would want no poster ---

@BigWheel OP does not state that he wants no poster, just that he wants to remove the wrong poster from the poster page in the edit dialog screen. I agree with him, it would be nice to deleted wrong posters from the edit screen. ---

It’s my OCD. I prefer things to be perfect and knowing I have seasons with the wrong season posters in them tweaks me up. I only want to remove the incorrect posters leaving the right ones in place. ---

Sometimes posters for the wrong movie or show let alone season ends up attached. It would be nice to be able to purge the offending posters. Another scenario occurs with manually managed shows (think shows based on XBMC NFO files) where if you reconfigure a season, old posters that are not applicable will be used with new video. This means you need to manually set the poster. But that’s a work around for a poor behavior that when I select to delete a show or episode, PMS doesn’t delete everything (files or cached images). ---

Of those 3, can you tell me which one is the 300x300 image from an online source, which is a 500x500 image from another online source, and which is the 1200x1200 scan on my local drive? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/7/c/7ce6e697d94ae897a5d6d865ea9888a51ab7a793.jpeg) ---

Wholly agree with the ability to DELETE wrong posters/album covers. Quite of few of mine are no longer even on my computer yet they show up in my Plex web “edit” library screen They just need to go away. If you won’t provide us a way to select/delete them, how about when we “choose an image”, it asks if we want to REPLACE what’s already there with the new image? Thank you for your support.

Better yet, give us the ability to purge all unused posters and prevent the automatic downloading of additional posters. When you have hundreds of full season TV shows and thousands of movies, the amount of space wasted on unused posters is ridiculous. ---

Yes please to all of the above, with the added choice of being able to add poster art to playlists. I would especially love to see the purge unused poster art option. ---

Yup…Would love the ability to remove any unwanted poster art, for may different reasons… Added wrong one by mistake - Multiple versions of the same image - Just don’t want any other posters there other than the one / ones I want… I could keep listing a whole host more reasons why I might want to manually delete specific posters and banners! ---

@beckfield, @OttoKerner This feature request page has been closed. > [@Cleanup/Deletion of Unused Posters and Backgrounds](https://forums.plex.tv/t/cleanup-deletion-of-unused-posters-and-backgrounds/433883): > > Since Plex copies downloaded posters into the database, there is no easy way to remove unwanted images. I would like to see a feature for deleting unwanted or unused images. I would also not be opposed to Plex only saving the currently-selected image, and fetching images from online sources only when editing items. I don’t believe these are the same in terms of what the OP’s want. This very topic the OP wants to simply delete a poster or two. The second request asks for the removal of unused poster and backgrounds. And to maybe not download all posters in the first place. I ask that the other topic be reopened(so I can vote) or merged into one feature request with both purposes in mind. ---

This. ^^ Thanks to [https://www.reddit.com/r/PlexPosters/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PlexPosters/) I have some stunning consistent artwork for collections and the pertaining movies. In each case they are buried underneath the plethora of low res stuff that Plex provides. Not that I intend to go back there Emby was fantastic in this respect. ---
