  - **File center:** Delete all spare files. Clear your trash.
  - **Admin:** reset/delete cache; remove delete files
  - Logout
  - Via FTP: Clearing the folder **/content/images/** exept the index.html.
  - activate your phpMyAdmin
  - activate the tabel **phpwcms_imagecache**
  - **Backup** this table: Export -> save it localy
  - Show choosen
  - display: 1000 data sets, beginning at 1 -> activate
  - bottom left "All choosen"
  - DELETE
  - Now we have a blank tabel. At the second step we will rearrange the index. But it isn´t necessary.
  - Upper right "Option" click
  - At the bottom under table option: set auto_increment to 1 -> OK

Thats all. There is a clean System starting with a new index. The thumbnails automatically shall be generated during working with the system.
