# Editing and deleting images and categories

Once you have created some categories they will appear at the top of the image manager page in the system module. Each category has three Actions associated with it:

| Action      | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **View:**   | This will display a list of the images in the category, along with their details. You can edit the name, display order of images here. You also have the option to reassign images to a different category, to show or hide them, and to delete them.                                                   |
| **Edit:**   | This opens the configuration options for the category so that you can change them.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| **Delete:** | Select delete to remove a category. If you are storing images as binary blobs in the database this will delete them permanently. If you are storing images as files in the 'uploads' directory, your images will still be in the that directory (though they won’t be available through image manager). |

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://xoops.gitbook.io/xoops-operations-guide/the-admin-interface/image-manager/editing-and-deleting-images-and-categories.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
