Hi guys **Have already:** I have my code to upload multiple images to a temporary gallery (from a single upload button) for people to preview before they submit the images to a gallery. **Need:** I’m trying to add an “image delete button” to remove the current image being viewed in the Temporary Gallery. Something like: ```javascript export function imagedeletebutton_click(event, $w) { let currentIndex = $w("#gallery1").currentIndex; let item = $w("#gallery1").items[currentIndex].src; item.remove(); } ``` Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks! Thomas ---

Did you try getting the items , removing one from the array and then setting the items back on the gallery? > **[Gallery - Velo API Reference - Wix.com](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/$w/gallery)** > > A Gallery displays multiple items. ---

Hi Dalia Many thanks for the response. Sorry, I’ve been away this month so I haven’t been very active with the forum. I decided a different approach would be easier. I’ve changed it to a repeater, put the image as the whole repeater and am filtering results from a dataset on the page instead. (it’s filtered via a g.u.i.d code generated on the page). This is what it looks like: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wix/original/3X/8/7/871aa27a54ba2010ed2bd66a59caf41c8d058ec4.jpeg) However, I’m trying to make the little “X” button on the repeater delete the item in the dataset, but i’m struggling. This is my code to date, but it’s not responding: ```javascript export function iconButton1_click(event, $w) { let item = $w("#dataset1").getCurrentItem(); let title = $w("#text153").text; // key generated as page loads wixData.remove("images", item) $w("#dataset1").onReady( () => { $w("#dataset1").setFilter(wixData.filter().eq("title", title)); // should filter dataset to match text153 }) } ``` Any idea on how to action this to delete the current item on the dataset? Many thanks for the help to date! Thomas ---

Hi Thomas The remove functions needs the id as parameter : [wix-data - Velo API Reference - Wix.com](https://www.wix.com/code/reference/wix-data.html#remove) I suggest writing something like this : wixData.remove(“images”, item.\_id) .then(() =\> { //refresh the repeater with the updated info $w(’ [#r](https://www.wix.com/code/home/forum/search/posts%3Fquery=%23table1) epeater1’).refresh(); }) .catch((err) =\> { let errorMsg = err; }); ---

Hi Dalia Thanks! It worked perfectly 🙂 However, the repeater isn’t refreshing as expected. It says _“it does not exist on the repeater”_ Many thanks Thomas ---

Hi Thomas It turns out there is a much easier way that will also refresh your repeater: export function iconButton1\_click(event, $w) { $w(“#dataset1”).remove() .then( () =\> { console.log(“Done removing current item”); } ); } I hope that works better 🙂 ---

Hi Thomas, You said in your OP that you have code already to push images to a temporary gallery. Would you be able to share that? That is exactly what I am trying to do, and I’ve been running into issues.
