well.... that depends. if "massively too large" is being used as a compound adjective then no, it should be "The massively too large picture that occupied this space previously was deleted by a moderator.".
However, its become common usage to name a thing with adjectives so that "Massively too large picture" would be a single compound noun. In that case the sentence is grammatically correct although adding a helping verb ("was" deleted or "has been" deleted) would be more commonly acceptable.
at least, that's my take on it.
