Abstract
In the case where an image data set stored in a recording medium of an image server or the like is linked to a Web page, an error message is prevented from being shown even if the image data set is deleted. Confirmation means confirms a storage period for the image data set. If the storage period has expired, character image generation means generates a character image data set of the same format and having the same file name as the image data set. The character image represented by the character image data set indicates deletion of the image data set. Compression means compresses the image data set and the compressed image data set is stored in another recording medium. The image data set is then deleted. When an access to the image data set is attempted, the character image data set is referred to.
