Sorry if this isn't the place to ask a question, but I'm not sure where else to ask this: I'd like to have a previous user name removed from "file history" entries due to privacy concerns. I already had this username switched to the current name, but the old name is still showing up under the file history for multiple images that I posted with the account. How can I get those entries removed?--metsfan84
