Editing/Deleting a Simple Image Gallery on Your Page

- To delete the image gallery, click the pencil icon and select your content’s title in the pane in which you placed it. Then, click the “X” icon near the bottom of the page. You will be asked to confirm your intention to delete the content module before it is permanently deleted.
