Here's an old page for the podcast, however the newest episode page gives you a 404 error. @Kevin-V on his twitter account has stated that the Podcast will be relaunched soon:

@Gamer_4_Fun: The option to delete images (and edit them) is disabled. The development staff is working on it.

The option to remove images was never available to normal users, but I believe it was available to moderators, staff members, and perhaps a few select beta testers, as suggested in this topic: http://www.gamespot.com/forums/bug-reporting-feedback-1000006/bug-icon-glitch-500-error-on-pages-linked-to-profi-30835990/#0 The topic also suggests that when a user changes their avatar, it uploads a copy to your image gallery and that deleting the gallery copy of your avatar would cause the problems to the profile that we've mentioned. The option to delete images is available through the edit tag button which is what lead me to believe they might have disabled it so that they could have a look at the issue without more staff members unintentionally locking themselves, but I could be mistaken.

In any case, @lensflare15 is correct in that the way to delete your images is though the "edit tag" feature which is currently disabled. So at this point in time, there is no way of deleting images from one's personal image gallery. Careful what pictures you upload ladies and gents.

EDIT: Update on the situation; confirmed and in process of correction: Link to post here.

They've disabled the edit tag button for what I'm assuming was a critical bug in allowing users to delete their own avatars and essentially locking themselves out of their own account. They'll have it fixed eventually.

If you go to the login screen while logged in, there is a link at the top that says "manage my account." The location of the account details page should definitely be made more obvious.

Site slowdown is due to code optimization issues, they're working on that too.

As for the video problem, it may take care of itself once the new site transition has been settled. Otherwise, It might help to clear your Flash Player and Web browser's cache and cookies and see if that remedies the problem.

Telling people to kill themselves over site aesthetics is never appropriate. Death threats are counter productive, even on your own terms, because it entrenches those you've attacked further in their own ideas and thoughts instead of encouraging productive discourse.

At GiantBomb (which this site essentially mirrors), the way one would delete uploaded images in one's collection would be by clicking on the "Edit Tags" button on the image page which will give you the option to select individual images for editing. Selecting an image(s) will bring up a pop up allowing you to edit picture descriptions and tags. However on GiantBomb, it would also give you a button to "remove" the image in the same pop up. For some reason however, that option is missing here at GameSpot for regular users.

So at the moment there isn't a way to remove uploaded images (that I'm aware of) until they fix it.

If you have the Adblock add-on enabled on your browser, that would be your culprit. It's been reported that they're working on a fix:
