Below is a Power App screen with a Gallery for images on top and an 'Edit' form on the bottom.

All data and images/attachments are coming from the same SP list.

I can edit the data in the form and submit the changes through the submit/save icon using SubmitForm(EditForm);

The image Gallery is populating data based on the TruckVinNumber in the form as shown here:
Image Gallery 'Items' - LookUp('Schedule Details List', TruckVinNumber = EJDTruckVINNumberDataCardValue.Text).Attachments

As currently configured the images are not impacted by the edit/update action.

I'd like to add the delete/remove (garbage can) icon to the image Gallery so that the user can act on the images/attachments, also.

Will adding the delete/remove icon automatically remove the image fron the SP list independent of the submit/save icon action?

@Phineas ,

You can have an Edit Form with just the attachment control if necessary, but attachments can only display their name, however you can view them in a gallery (see this blog of mine) which you can put in the same data card with the name and image so they know which attachment/s to delete.

Do you have any recommendations as to how such an action (deleting a specific image/attachment) from a SP List item?

I'm assuming I can use an 'Edit' form rather than a Gallery to display the data and attachment(s)?

If the above is true will I be able to see all the attachments in the form attachment control?

If the above is true the attachments will not have recognizable names, so the user won't really know what image/attachment is being deleted/removed where there are more than one image/attachment, as there is no visual distinction if an attachment rather than an image?

@Phineas ,

Unfortunately the only way to delete attachments is with an attachment control.
