Please help me attach pictures without uploading them to my own computer first!

To everyone who might be able to help, please help me!
I sometimes want to post images that are too big. Bystander has told me that I can post them as attachments instead.
The problem is, that works for me as long as I upload them to my own computer. When I upload them to my computer, they get a file name. I can then use their file names to upload them to Starship Asterisk*, using the Attachments function.
There are two problems here. I haven't figured out how to remove images that I have uploaded to my computer. I don't necessarily want to keep them all, and when I have too many of them, they slow down my computer. Most irritatingly, my computer will delete documents without any complaints, but it seems to lack a "Delete image" function.
That's why I hesitate to upload too many images to my computer.
And I just can't figure out how to add images as attachments if I haven't uploaded them to my own computer first. The problem, as I see it, is that the images don't have file names unless I have uploaded them to my computer.
Or do they? If so, how do I find their file names?
Please help! There's another problem here, of course, which is that most (but not all) of the instructions that my computer gives me are in Swedish. (I know.
)
Anyway, does anyone know how I can attach images to posts in Starship Asterisk* without uploading them to my computer first? And can anyone explain it to me, step by step? (I wouldn't mind getting some tips on how to delete unwanted images from my computer, either.)
I would be very grateful!
