How do I prevent full file path displaying when mouseover images?

If anybody can offer assistance I'd be grateful.

Messing around on wordpress trying to get used to it. I've inserted an image onto a web page, however when the mouse hovers on the image the full file path is displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen - as though the picture were a link, it is not.

File path being displayed on mouseover is:

mywebsite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/name-of-image.png

I'm sure this isn't supposed to be happening, not is it desired.

Did a search online in respect of this issue but perhaps I didn't search very well as I couldn't find any answers.

If anybody can offer a solution that would be great - and if you can put it in layperson's terms, that would be even better!

Thanks

the link in the bottom corner only appears when you hover a link, so you probably have one set.

The most common reason is because when you uploaded the image, you didn't choose "none" from the "link to" dropdown in the media uploader.

If you have done this, then the theme might be setting the link automatically, you will need to check the code for this.
