Not sure why you wouldn't have permissions to delete your own thumbnails. If your using FTP you should be able to delete the _thumbs folder or delete all the thumbnails in the folder. Then you can run the makethumbs script and it should remake all the thumbnails from the large pictures.
Let me know what it is either way in case someone else runs into the same problem.
That's something I have never seen. Try changing the permissions on the folder holding the _thumbs folder to 777 and then see if you can delete it.
Hmmm. I would say your FTP user account is not an admin account for the server. Can you log on to FTP with any other account?
Would seem to be the same problem as ropehawn to me. If your FTP account is an admin over your directory, you should be able to do anything with the files.
What is happening is that the makethumbs.php script is creating the _thumbs folder and all the thumbnails in it. When a script makes files and folders using PHP file system functions it sets the server as the file's owner instead of you. On any shared hosting account I have come across this has never been an issue because the FTP account should have rights to do anything with the files. I don't know if it may be an issue with the FTP program being used. I use Filezilla and have never had problems like this.
You could try and install a PHP file manager of some sort. I did a quick search on the web and came across this simple looking one called File Thingie. Put that in the fig folder and you should be able to manage the files using a web interface.
kroket, I think your problem is different than the other two users that posted here. They couldn't delete the pics from the server.
Your problem sounds like a caching problem where you need to refresh the page that the gallery is on. Also deleting the images in a gallery will not delete it's thumbnails, although this really shouldn't matter as fig should only show a thumbnail if the large image exists. You can keep the thumbnail folder clean if you want by deleting all the thunbnails and running the makethumbs.php file again.
Thanks for the kind words Antigen. Most of my real world jobs have been in customer support of some kind, so I'm used to dealing with frustrated and, once in a while, angry people.
