I realize I'm late to the party on supplying an answer here, but I had a similar problem and found a solution that works for me.
A bit of background is necessary. I originally created a website for a client, but subsequent to that, the client supplied his own blog content.
Because my work with Nicepage had been done under my own wordpress userid and the other content was added by my clients, any time I need to update the basic website (i.e. the content I created), I go to the media library and use the "Mine" filter to find only the images I loaded onto the site (through Nicepage). I then bulk-delete those images only, leaving behind any images that had been uploaded by the client. When I then upload my changed project, I select the option to load content from the project and replace old content.
This results in my original images being reloaded into the media library, while leaving the client's images intact.
Of course, if the client had created any content that linked to those original images, then those links to media files would be broken, but in my case, they do not do that.
