uploaded image creates too many copies in various dimensions
Hello,
wordpress creates 3 images from every image which is uploaded based on settings. But when i upload an image i get 22 copies!!!
this has huge impact on my ftp memory.
i am using theme herbal. why is there so many images generated and how to set it up? how many images does theme need and for what, which i can disable and where i can disable them from not generating again so i can also delete them on ftp.
i upload image which has around 500kb and it will generate another 6-8mb with other images.

Hello,
To prevent creating unnecessary copies of the image, you should modify the theme files.
If you want to know how to do that, please, check the following link.

Thanks
Thank you,
for future i found very simple solution, image optimizer can disable image resulotuions which you use when you add new image but this plugin: Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced have option to check all images wether they are being used somewhere or not if not it will delete them. perfect i had 880mb of images and it deleted all not needed and now it is 250 mb
