I am still learning about WordPress and am now trying to figure out how generating thumbnails work. From what I understand WP will generate by default 3 thumbnails from each picture I upload. I was looking at the upload folder and noticed that there are 19 (!) different thumbnails in there. As an example I take an image with an original file size of 96 Kb, the total 19 files consume 680 Kb (7x times the original file size!) and this is causing issues as I run out of disk space.
The questions I have are:
1) How can I determine what thumbnail size I really need/are used by the website? (I cannot imagine that they are all needed)
2) After identifying the above; how can I stop generating the unneeded thumbnails?Hey winnieandbuzz,

Wordpress is cropping images by default when uploading them and if you want to control this behavior you can use a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-image-sizes
I hope this will help :).Best regards,
Andy
