Need your help... thanks to Greenshot a missclick is sufficient to post a picture online to Imgur. (I did...and now I want to delete it) the picture has been posted using anonymous mode.
Because I didn't post it manually I do not have the delete link, but I have the deleteHash (15 alphanum-character).
I know there is formular to ask to delete the picture. But I would like to delete it myself.
In the plugin history I found a delete button which tell me the picture has been deleted from Imgur but the picture is still there.
I tried this : http://imgur.com/delete/ABCDEFghi01abcd but its tells me "This isn't a valid image link! Go on, get out of here!"
I tried this :
<form action="https://api.imgur.com/3/image/ABCDEFghi01abcd" method="DELETE
<p><input type="submit" value="OK"></p>
</form>
but I got this :
{"data":{"error":"Authentication required","request":"\/3\/image\/ABCDEFghi01abcd","method":"GET"},"success":false,"status":401}
(BTW how do we send a DELETE method ? it seems ignored and sent a GET instead...)
maybe the deleteHash code given by Greenshot is wrong ?
Any idea ?

Hi I know this post is pretty old by now, but I just had the same problem and I wanted to contribute my sufferings here.
Here are the steps to get the delete hash and how to use it:
- Go to C:\Users{yourusername}\AppData\Roaming\Greenshot\Greenshot.ini andopen the file using notepad or any text editor
- Look for 'Imgur', and you should find "Imgur upload history" which lists all the images you've uploaded and their deleteHash
- The deletehash is a 15 alpha-numerical characters that appear following the "=" symbol
- Go to imgur.com/delete/{deletehash} and you will see a prompt asking if you want to delete the picture permanently
