Erasing an Image
You can erase an image from the AutoCAD drawing when you no longer need
it.
When you erase (page 389) an image, you can also detach (page 387) it, subject
to the Image Detach Options set on the User Preferences Tab
(ProductNameShort Options Dialog Box) (page 358). If you want to simply
remove the image from the display, without having to reconstruct it later,
consider using the hide (page 390) or unload (page 400) operations.
To erase an image
1 To display the Image Manager (page 330) toolspace, click Image ➤
Manage..
2 Click the Image Insertions (page 331) view.
3 Click the insertion you want to erase, right-click and click Erase.
If no more insertions from this image data definition remain in your
drawing, you may be asked if you want to detach the image. Detaching
removes the image data definition from the drawing.
NOTE If you want to restore the images, click Edit ➤ Undo.
