text: i ve uploaded a file in wikipedia and now i wanna remove it, how to do it ? it seems that the files once uploaded can only be edited and not be deleted till eternity ! is it true ? the easiest way if the file isn't used for anything is to just type {{db|reason}} on the image's description page. replace "reason" with the reason you want it deleted, and an admin will speedy delete it. you can get to the description page by clicking the image.
