Comment (by Shapeshifter 3):

 Replying to [ticket:28957 rigpa1]:
 > 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.
