Ah, quite true. But image files are so large that they are not quite so
troublesome with respect to fragmentation. Deleting one leaves a large
hole and deleting a couple leaves a really large hole after things are
coalesced. And, of course, if you never delete anything you may be out
of space but you certainly don't have a fragmentation problem. :-)
