Delete Posts & Attachments Using Specific Time

Many bloggers are faced with size limitations on hosting sites and this would be a way to control the size of the blog. It is important to have such a feature clean up associated photographs and other attachments that end up in the “uploads” folder. Deleting just the text is insufficient.

Sounds more like you need a better host and more space. Deleting content means it’s gone, which means there was no point in having it up there. The concept is that you post and keep it up online for people to read. Removing content looses readers.

The hosting site is great. I found that uploading Screen Shots and/or photographs does not result in one image per upload. Rather, WordPress picks up multiple images in case one wishes to use different sizes in a blog post. These “shard” images begin to fill up storage space while serving no purpose.

I would like full control over what uploads rather than WordPress making those decisions for me.

You can change the default sizes. But yes, you get a thumbnail, a medium and a large size (and a ‘full’ if full is bigger than large). If you make the ‘large’ the size of the largest image you upload, you only get three images.

The thumb and medium images are pretty small, and shouldn’t be causing you to run over diskspace (which is pretty cheap these days).

These “shard” images are for display on your site when different sizes are needed. Using the minimum required size decreases load times and thus the user experience, plus it also improves your ranking because Google takes load speeds into account.
