 I will add a photo.
 * Then when I add it to a web page, the web page crops off the top and
 bottom of the photo.
 * I then realized I need to resize the graphic so that WordPress doesn't
 cut off the top and bottom of the photo.
 * I then need to PERMANENTLY DELETE the photo.
 * In my computer, I then resize the photo in Photoshop.
 * I then upload the new re-croped/revised photo to WordPress.
 * Then I add that new photo to the web page.
 * Then Word Press uses the OLD PHOTO THAT I PERMANENTLY DELETED AND WILL
 NOT USE THE NEW PHOTO THAT I JUST UPLOADED.

 HERE IS THE EXAMPLE:

 Hyundai Announces UAM Division
 https://evtol.news/2019/11/04/hyundai-announces-uam-division/
 * I uploaded this photo.
 * WordPress cropped the top of the head off this portrait.
 * I DELETED THIS PHOTO FROM WORDPRESS ON NOVEMBER 3, 2019.
 * I THEN CROPPED MOST OF THE SUIT SO THAT IT WAS MORE OF A LANDSCAPE
 PHOTO.
 * I RE-UPLOADED THE NEWLY CROPPED PHOTO TO WORDPRESS.
 * I THEN ADDED THE THE NEWLY CROPPED PHOTO TO THE ARTICLE.
 * BUT WORDPRESS IS USING THE PERMANENTLY DELETED PHOTO ON THIS WEB PAGE.
 * WORDPRESS IS NOT USING THE LATEST PHOTO THAT I UPLOADED TO WORDPRESS.
 * WHEN I PERMANENTLY DELETE A PHOTO, I WANT IT PERMANENTLY DELETED.
 * WHAT IS WRONG HERE?

 Permanently deleting a photo should be a very simple task. Why is
 WordPress refusing to permanently delete a photo?
