Thankyou for your response @Chris D ,
Ok so, I found a work around. If you select the album from the "Your Albums" area, and you check mark it, and select "Permanently delete" it will gray it out but not delete it. However, if you go into the album, and select delete. It will delete it, so I did find a work around.

This thread has become quite confused as to what the issue is.
The first post you were talking about deleting videos, the second seemed to be talking about deleting images and your third seems to indicate the problem lies with deleting albums
Could you describe the exact steps to reproduce the issue, and clarify what the issue is?

Hi @Chris D ,
Yea I am sorry, let me clarify. I was originally having problems deleting any such as videos/pictures. I was trying to delete the entire album, however when I would select the album from the "Your Album" area select the album and select delete and then "Permanently delete" it would gray out the album, and the video ad pictures but wouldn't delete them. So, the original post was directed towards deletion of individual videos. I hope that cleared up the confusion, the issue that I am finding to delete the albums, I would have to go inside the album and select delete vs selecting the album from the your album area and deleting it. Does that make sense LOL

I don't see why anyone is. Its similar to soft deleted threads. Which go muted in color I believe. Hard to remember with a custom theme.
Just wanted to keep this on the subject of the bug report.
Can you clarify whether you clicked the checkbox to delete it using inline moderation, e.g from the Delete albums... link?
Or did you do it from inside the album, from the Delete link at the bottom?

Hey Chris,
Ok so when you select delete and them Perm Delete, it grays it out right? But it doesnt perm delete it, but if you go into that album and select the delete button it does. Does that make sense?

Not on my forum they don't. There's a big difference because it has read text with a deletion notice. With albums or media the thumbnail goes faint and there is no deletion notice until you click on the thumbnail.
There's no manual to explain this, so people get confused when they see the faint thumbnails. Maybe they shouldn't get confused, but they do. I'm even more confused because if I hard delete after soft deleting, the faint thumbnail remains.
This is similar to an issue someone else reported that I haven't yet reproduced; can you reproduce this every time? If so, what are the exact steps to do so? Would be useful to describe what pages/URLs you are on when you perform certain actions just to remove any ambiguity about how it was deleted or what was deleted (because there is sometimes more than one way to do certain things).
