Media Import adding -1 to each image file

  • I’m attempting to import media into a new installation. It’s a huge library of images and the imports have failed, incomplete. I’ve deleted the partial imports and started over after editing my xml into a number of smaller xml’s, but it doesn’t look like those deletions were complete. You know how, if you leave a page in ‘trash’ and then save another with the same name a ‘-1’ is added to the end? That’s what’s happening with the images when I attempt to re-import them. An image called feather.jpg becomes feather1.jpg. Of course, that loses the file associations. How can I truly, fully delete these images so these ‘ghosts’ disappear?

    First delete all media from trash which you recently mark as trash. You can easily identify it by current date which showing list view for media.

    Then wait for 5 to 10 minute that all recent images deleted or not.If not then delete it.

    Then start your partition import functionality again.

    Hope this will help you!

    There isn’t a ‘trash’ for media. My only choices are for
    Edit | Delete Permanently | View | Copy URL to Clipboard

    There isn’t a Trash option like there is for everything else. That’s what threw me when I saw this going on. There doesn’t seem to be any way for me to flush this memory of the files. I”m on WordPress 6.0, BTW.
