2. Connect Your Flickr Account

After launching Redact.dev and logging in, select Flickr from the list of supported platforms.

You’ll be prompted to log in through Flickr. Your login credentials are never captured or seen by the Redact app. They are sent directly from your device to Flickr, without passing through or being stored on any Redact servers. The login process works just like a saved login in your browser and remains only on your device.

In Redact.dev, select Flickr from the list of supported platforms.

3. Choose the Type of Flickr Content to Delete

Redact allows you to target specific content types from your Flickr account. You can select one or more of the following:

Photos (Media)
Albums
Favorites
Galleries

You have full control over what to remove. Choose a single category or multiple to mass delete everything on Flickr in one go.

This functionality lets you bulk delete your media, albums, favorites, galleries, or any combination of them, on your Flickr account.

Delete according to filter types
Specify what type of content to delete Media, Albums, Favorites, or Galleries.

4. Filter by Date Range

With Redact, you can easily wipe all your Flickr activity from individual days, entire months, or full years to narrow down the exact time frame of the content you want to remove.

Use the date filter to:

Set a Start Date to delete anything created after that day
Set an End Date to delete anything before that day
Set Both to delete anything between the two dates

You can use the presets, or click the calendar icon to choose by day, month, or year. Click the red Reset text to clear your filter.

Delete Flickr activity by date range
Redaction can be specified by Start Date (Only delete after this date) or End Date (Only delete before this date), pressing the calendar icon, you go straight to month selection by pressing the month in April, pressing the title again Pick Month in 2021 will navigate to year selection. Clicking the Reset red text will delete all the date value for that field.

5. Filter by Title (Optional)

Looking for specific content? Use the Title Filter to find and delete media, albums, galleries, or favorites that include certain words in the title.

Simply enter your keyword, and Redact will target matching content for deletion.

If you’ve used a naming convention for your Flickr content, keyword filtering allows you to delete specific groups of content based on your own naming convention.

Delete according to title
Delete according to the title of a type (media, albums, galleries, and favorites). Input a word or phrase that Redact will search for in the title of a type. If you’re looking for a specific word to delete in the title of a type, this is where you place it.

6. Filter by Description (Optional)

Use the Description Filter to remove Flickr content containing specific words or phrases in the description field. This is especially useful for removing old or sensitive uploads.

Delete according to description
Enter a phrase or group of words found on the description to be deleted.

7. Delete by View, Comment, or Favorite Count

Want to remove only unpopular or less visible content? Redact lets you filter content by:

View count
Comment count
Favorite count

This lets you easily clear out low-engagement uploads while preserving your most valued content – optimizing your profile or portflio on Flickr in the process.

Delete Flickr content according to view, comment, or favorite count
Specify the view, comment, or favorite count of a content you have created, to filter the ones you want to delete.

8. Start Deleting

Redact offers three deletion modes:

Preview Mode: Review content before deletion to avoid mistakes
Select and Delete: Manually choose which files to remove
Deletion Mode: Instantly delete all selected Flickr content
Schedule Deletion: This lets you automate ongoing Flickr deletion, so your images on Flickr are deleted after a set period of time.

If you’re looking to wipe your Flickr account completely, skip the filters and go straight to Deletion Mode. This will remove all selected data permanently.

Delete your Gyazo history
To delete anything and everything on your Gyazo account, just skip the form, go straight to deletion mode, and click start deleting. Take note that content deletion is irreversible. This is recommended if you want to have a fresh Gyazo account rather than making a new one.
