Description
If I upload an image and insert into a post/page, evaluate it, decide I need a few image changes, delete the old image from the media library, upload the image again (SAME NAME), then WordPress inserts the OLD image, not the new one. Every single time!
I always delete the old image before uploading the new because I dont want 100 versions of any image in the library, so maybe this is a cache problem??? Maybe the old image is still cached (for a very long time) ???
This has been so for a long time and the only way to go around it is to rename the image to something that WordPress imageuploader hasnt seen before and then upload it again.

I've been going through the same image editing process as yourself for over 2 years. During that time period, I ALWAYS delete my cache (using a plugin) directly AFTER I delete the old image; and THEN upload the new edited image. Most of the time, I continue to use the same name.
This appears to be a caching issue with your web server, it's probably configured to set
Cache-ControlorExpiresHTTP headers for static files.WordPress itself does not send these headers for images, but a caching plugin might do that. I'd suggest trying the support forums for troubleshooting.
