Answers.Text: Thanks Alan,
  
  We had found the add images from gallery option (that's how we found all the duplicates).
  
  Guidance on writing new emails is being revised to take this into account.
  
  I'll pass on the work round for finding the gallery folder via a "trad" mailing- that makes perfect sense. Thank you

Title: Manage the image gallery in mosaico
ThreadText: # Manage the image gallery in mosaico
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-02-24)
  
  As you upload images into Mosaico mailings they get stored in a Mosaico "Gallery".
  
  We're now beginning to find duplicate images in the gallery as different users have uploaded the same image at different times (or people using Mosaico hadn't spotted the gallery function and have re-used the same image several times).
  
  [![mosaico editor with gallery tab open](https://i.sstatic.net/dfzxb.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/dfzxb.png)
  
  Does anyone know which directory the gallery is saved in? Is there a way to give access to local users to allow them to manage the images there and remove the duplicates?
  
  Cheers!

  **The answer is to the first of your two questions** is: the images are stored in a subdirectory of the CiviCRM "Image Directory", which by default looks like `[civicrm.files]/persist/contribute/`.
  
  The specific subdirectory it stores it in is: `images/upload`
  
  You can see the code on line 153-ish of this file:
