Hi all,

We're updating our product listings by unifying the marketing image layout across all items. We're using a zip file to bulk upload images, and while this works for adding or replacing images, it doesn't seem to remove any old images that aren't part of the new upload.

For example, if a product currently has 6 images, and we only upload 4 new ones, the last 2 old images still remain. This causes issues when our new layout doesn’t include images for those positions.

Further context for our specific situation:

We’re using a specific naming convention for image positions (e.g., PT01 for context shot, PT02 for sizing, PT03–PT06 for category-specific content, and PT07 for a variant image, this being "laminated"). Not every product uses all slots (e.g., PT03–PT06 may be skipped), but if the old images are still sitting in those positions, they’re not getting cleared out.

Is there a way to purge or overwrite all existing images during a bulk image upload so we don't end up with leftover images from previous uploads?

I’d like to avoid the need to manually remove old images from each listing or having to contact Amazon support to do it for me.

Thanks for any guidance.
