An image recording apparatus includes a CPU. An image file created by the CPU is stored in a directory which is created on a hard disk and a circularly successive directory number is assigned to. When the number of image files accumulated in a latest directory reaches “450”, the CPU determines a total number of the directories, and if the total number reaches “50”, the CPU erases an oldest directory. Furthermore, when the number of the image files accumulated in the latest directory reaches “900”, the CPU creates a new directory to which the directory number succeeding to that of the latest directory is assigned. In addition, when an arbitrary directory is erased by an operation of an erasing key, the CPU assigns the successive directory number to a remaining directory in order of a creation time.
