Delete Thumbnails

Install the plugin from your Plugin browser, or download the plugin and extract the files and upload delete-thumbnails to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress View the Delete Thumbnails interface under Tools in your WordPress Admin

After looking at all files in the WordPress uploads directory, a file is determined as resized when three criteria are meet:

1. 01It’s an image
2. 02The file URL is not a main WordPress Media Library file
3. 03The filename ends with -###-###.

The method of deletion only works when the server allows PHP to edit the folders contents. CHMOD is the permission settings for files and folders. If you’ve received a warning of this, the CHMOD on the upload directory is too low.

Please note this is a new plugin (rewritten summer 2017), this plugin was developed and tested in only two server environments – variables on your setup may of not been considered while developing. Please open a request in the Support tab and provide as much info as you’re willing to give to help resolve this issue and ensure this plugin works on all setups:

• WordPress & PHP version
• Location of directory
• Wether or not files are stored in year/month sub folders
• ect.

The plugin insists on backups as it removes files permanently, you can ignore and bypass, however you should always backup your WordPress installation
