• Answer:

  The folders under your 'Search Shortcuts' - 'My Photos'/'My Attachments', are permanent. The contents of these folders are in the messages in your email box. These folders are provided as a shortcut to the photos and attachments within your messages. Only the messages in your email box count towards your allotted email storage space. ---------- I will give you instructions on how to delete photos and attachments in your 'Search Shortcuts: - My Photos/My Attachments' folders, but these photos and attachments are within messages you have in your email box and you cannot delete them individually. When you delete the message containing the photos and attachments, you will delete ALL of the photos and attachments within the message. If you wish to save any of these, you could save the messages containing the photos and attachments in personal folders that you create. Those photos and attachments will remain in your 'Search Shortcuts:' as long as the original message is in your email box. Or you could upload the photos you wish to keep to 'Yahoo! Photos'. ---------- Yahoo!
