The status is that there is no option to remove original images.

There is an option to connect with over FTP and remove additional images that are not used.

By that I mean thumnails with different dimensions.

The solution is to check what thumbnails your theme creates when you upload images. Then the theme uses some of these thumbnails and some of them do not use.

Remove those that you are not using.

Use resize plugin that will resize images that are left. And by doing that you will decrease the disk usage size.

I have found that my theme was creating around 8 images and wordpress has created several images. I have ended up with 14 images created automatically which would increase the disck usaze easily by several GB.

I had over 40GB disc usage this way only for one wordpress site. Now I am in process of removing additioanal images and I expect to reduce the disck usage /10. So, from 40GB to 4GB.

If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment and I will explain what is have used as a solution and how.

For now this is what i have used:

Installed smushpro plugin

deactivated wordpress from creting additional thumbnails images – use plugin Disable Media Sizes

upload an image into blog post

use smuhspro to resize uploaded image to reduce the disck usage

• the theme thumbnails is different from theme to theme. So you need to check with theme support how to deactivated automatically thumnail creation. But, also check which thumbnails are important. If you can you can make test on your own.

I need to check does it have option to remove original image. I will make a test.

I am using smush pro and I have wp optimize.

Hi,

I am using Pro version.

I do not know which rows or tables they have removed. They said to contact you to check how to solve this issue.
They have removed sone rows, but they said they cannot say did they affect any other functionality on the site. They wanted just to find what is causing the issue.

Best regards
