Select/Highlighting + deleting doesn’t remove the photos/images
-
Whenever I highlight a section of text that includes images, and then I press the delete/backspace key, only the text gets deleted and all the images are left behind. Then I have to delete each image manually.
The same thing happens when I cut some text that contains images. The image is left behind, but surprisingly, when I paste what’s in my clipboard, the image comes with it, so now I have 2 copies of the image.
Is there a special trick to this, maybe a key combo? (I’m using the Mac desktop version)

In the Mac app, images in an entry sit on top of the text as a separate layer rather than being part of the text itself. Because of that, when you select and delete or cut a range of text, only the text in that selection is removed, the images stay behind and need to be removed on their own.
There’s no keyboard shortcut that removes both together right now. To fully clear a section, delete the images individually, either before or after removing the surrounding text.
That’s also what’s behind the duplicate you’re seeing after a cut and paste. To avoid that, delete any leftover images right after a cut, before you paste, or remove the images first and then cut the text around them.
