automated image creation – trying to stop it!

I have seen older threads like this one

so I have used the filter below in my child theme

`function ava_image_sizes() {
remove_image_size(‘widget’);
remove_image_size(‘featured’);
remove_image_size(‘featured_large’);
remove_image_size(‘extra_large’);
remove_image_size(‘portfolio_small’);
remove_image_size(‘magazine’);
remove_image_size(‘masonry’);
remove_image_size(‘entry_without_sidebar’);
remove_image_size(‘entry_without_sidebar’);
remove_image_size(‘entry_without_sidebar’);
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘ava_image_sizes’, 11 );

and it has reduced the number of sizes created – HOWEVER it is now creating 7 sets of each image !

here is a record of one of the images
