Hello, I recently posted some covers but noticed an error on them and decided to fix them and reupload them. The only problem is, now I seem to have several uploads up and I don't seem to have a way to delete them. Is there any way I can delete my previous uploads and leave only my two most recent uploads up? The game in question is Cave Story 3D on the 3DS.

Unfortunately there is no way for us to delete a hosted cover, or remove it from the queue.

I have asked the site owner snowcone to have a look at issues surrounding the new upload procedure, but not heard back as of yet.

I see, so not even the site admin would be able to remove these excess covers? So there is no way at all to get rid of them? When might the site owner address these concerns?

This is a good question. When I was uploading and approving my new, larger Game Boy covers for the main site, I accidentally approved my cover of Golf for Game Boy that is not full retail. The Nintendo logo on the spine is horizontal instead of vertical. The Nintendo logo needs to be vertical for the full retail cover. That's what the original box had. I uploaded and approved the correct full retail cover after that. I looked all around the admin section and realized that there is no option to delete covers on the main site; not even the queue where covers are awaiting approval. When I was uploading and approving my last four current Game Boy covers, I wasn't getting an image on the last three. Those three covers are LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for Game Boy Advance. The other two are Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for Game Boy Color. It shows that the covers are on the main site, but there is no way to download them. I hope Snowcone will add a delete option so cover admins can fix things. Another thing cover admins need is the ability to edit existing game titles. Rearranging covers is another things we admins should be able to do. For example, if you have two versions of a particular cover, you could put Version 1 first and Version 2 second on the list of cover choices for that particular game.

Hope this functionality gets added soon. I accidentally uploaded a cover for Avatar: The Burning Earth (DS) under Avalon Code.

I was wondering if there was an update to this. I would like to delete the extra mistaken uploads if possible.

You will not be able to delete covers from the site yourself, pending or active. I'm working on an update to this now that I fixed the broken cover image issue we've had.
