Remove wordpress generated image files.

by David Reed
3 replies
I run a sports club website which has several thousand pictures on it. My hosting however has counted 190,000 files in my uploads folder. I am lead to believe that a lot of these are different sizes of each image generated by wordpress (large, medium, small and thumbnail).
Is there an easy way to remove these?
I know now to set the sizes of these auto-generated sizes to '0' so they are not generated, but how do I remove those 'hidden' files that are currently in the folder?

    You need to login your site via FTP then find out where your all images are uploaded then take a action.

    You'll have to determine the location of the files in your hosting by logging in via FTP and once there you decide if you want to delete them all, just some or do something else. Keep in mind that deleting images may cause issues on the site if they were used on it.
