First, I would be sure you are loading the current file from the web server, and not relying on your cache. You want to force a re-load of the page... The method will vary, depending on web browser. Some common browers using Shift-F5, F5, Right-click->Reload, etc. For others, you may need to completely exit your browser, clear you cache, etc. Most are a little different.

Depending on which type of gallery you are using (HTML, Flash, etc) -- there might be many more individual files that have changed. If you have an upload client (not sure if you're using ftp or some other protocol to upload your file to your web host) which supports mirroring (i.e. only uploading files that have changed) -- then you should completely re-mirror the gallery in question, to catch all updates.
If you're doing this by hand, I'd just upload the entire gallery again. Otherwise, it will be a long exercise of determining which files have changed, which is dependent on which type of gallery you have, exactly what changed since you last uploaded, etc.... In the end, it would be just as fast or even faster to simply upload the entire gallery over again.
Depending on your technical expertise, I recommend using a program to mirror your data with your web host, and only transfer files that change. This is what I do for each of my web sites -- so I can test and prototype my changes locally, then when I'm ready to commit it to "the world," I simply kick off my mirror script and it figures out what needs to go.
Depending on your own comfort level and "web-savvynessityedness" that method may or may not be appealing; but it saves upload time by only synchronizing what actually changes.
