Version 6.4.4

Under Remove a Graemlin there is a red x appearing as a graemlin. This was an image that was added and I believe had a special character in it. When I tried to remove it I get the following message.

“Unable to remove the graemlin from the graemlins directory. Please check permissions on the files in this directory and try again.”

I have checked and reset all permissions. Problem still exists.
I deleted all graemlins from the images/graemlin directory. Problem still exists.

I tried Edit a Graemlin and the markup string from this graemlin is present. Changing the markup results in no change.

The image is definitely not in the images/graemlin directory. The red x also appears under instant graemlin in post and reply.

How can I remove this red x/graemlin?

No problem - just teasing you - and saving myself from typing twice.

Mr. JoshPet,

Your help has proven once again to be top flight. I'll place it here in case someone else needs this instruction.

Your suggestion:

Type:

SELECT * FROM w3t_Graemlins

Note the G_Number of the graemlin you need to nuke.

Then run this query

DELETE FROM w3t_Graemlins WHERE G_Number = xxx

Where I have xxx put the number.

Then manually delete the file. I suspect it's got to do with special characters in the filename not getting encoded or something. I ran into this once before somewhere I think.

This worked like a charm.

You are a master of your craft!

Thank you.
