I desperately want to delete one gallery I created but every time I click on delete this exhbition, I got this message :

Photos that existed only in (UNIQUE PHOTO BACKUP) (UNIQUE PHOTO BACKUP) (UNIQUE PHOTO BACKUP) Salut Bonhomme! were backed up into a new exhibition called (UNIQUE PHOTO BACKUP) (UNIQUE PHOTO BACKUP) (UNIQUE PHOTO BACKUP) (UNIQUE PHOTO BACKUP) Salut Bonhomme!

(Yeah, I try several time to kill it, so the name is much longer now...).

This exhibition was created in 1.22 and I have update to 1.3

To delete an exhibition from a EE you need to make sure there are no photos in the exhibition. There can be photos if those photos are also in some other exhibition. The UNIQUE PHOTO BACKUP stuff is made by EE to preserve photos which do not belong to any exhibition after delete. Every photo in EE must belong to _some_ exhibition.

See in bottom of the exhibition editor:

"In order to fully delete an exhibition from the system it must be empty. To empty an exhibition use the copy/delete tool to move all photos away from the target exhibition first. Or use multidelete to delete physically all photos first. "

Also in EE FAQ (inside E editor) see "How do I completely delete an exhibition" and about multidelete "How do I delete more photos at once?"
