if you want to remove the photo you can remove it on nostr build
One thing I noticed on Nostr is after uploading an image, if I delete the related Nostr note (via a kind:5 delete), the media still remains on the media server, example Nostr Build website .
That creates "orphaned media" that:
Wastes storage
Is no longer referenced anywhere
May be something the user wanted removed
I think media hosts like Nostr Build should push for a NIP (protocol proposal) that defines a way for hosts to:
Be notified when a note is deleted
Know which npub originally used the media
Automatically clean up unreferenced or deleted media
For example I made a draft note and uploaded this Bitcoin picture using Amethyst with media server Nostr Build but I never actually submitted the note.

I deleted the draft and noticed the picture is still on Nostr Builds website forever.

You need a paid subscription to remove photos. It doesn't really bother me if images stay on there since it's not my server.
otherwise, I think the right section is here https://nostr.build/delete/
interesting.. it worked. Nostr build knows your npub when you upload an image. Which is what I thought, but I thought they would know only if you submitted the note. I didn't submit it and went to delete it and it asked me for my npub and I entered and it deleted it.
The nostr build developers are smart.
