Originals deleted haphazardly

This is a long standing problem. I have the gallery set to automatically delete originals - sometimes it does and other times it deletes some from a batch and not others. I have to continually check to see if all deleted and then manually delete those missed. Help

Back in my early days (2003~04 ) with Pbase when I used to do that I had the same problem.
I finally started to resize my images to 800 pixels on the longest side before uploading to my galleries and got rid of the problem and hazzle.

rsbfotos makes a good point, and it is quite likely you can do a better job of resizing your photos than some automated online process. It's less important now on FiOS, but in dial-up days one never wanted to upload more bits than necessary! :D I size mine to a max of 800 horizontal or 640 vertical except in very rare cases (as in one or two).
