    Hi @emresert86 ,

    Sorry for this very late reply. You have an option on the admin page to remove backup files. Just check “Do not preserve backup” and you will have a new option to remove all your backup files.

    Hope you like our plugin ??

    Cheers,

    Hello how are you?

    It’s not working for me. I selected “Do not preserve backup” but the original files remain in the uploads folder.

    For example, I have an image called IMG_001.JPG with the size of 12mb. When I upload this image, a file called “IMG_001-scaled.jpg” and all of its thumbnails are created, however, the original 12mb file remains in the uploads folder.

    Is there an option to reduce the original files and use them instead of using the “-scaled” files?

    Or, how do I delete these original files permanently?

    Thanks
