4 unwanted jpg files for each pdf added to site

    I had no idea that WP-optimize would make multiple unwanted file copies of each “media” file added when what I had asked for was to compress the images and files.

    I now have 3x the file storage from all of these unwanted extra files.

    I have 4 .jpg files associated with each additional .pdf file added, and those that were added in the past.

    How can I remove all of these files that are not needed or used?

    I have, of course, turned off the “auto compress” switch, and am not using minify.

    Please tell me I don’t have to go thru the whole 8 years of wpcontent and flush them all out ?

    @infohadm You can remove the these images/files from WP-Optimize > Images > Unused images.

    Let us know if you see the images that were doubled in Unused images list.

    Hi,

    If you’ve turned off any possibly-related features in WP-O, what is it that makes you think that WP-O is doing this? (It shouldn’t be, of course, and it sounds surprising, since WP-O does check filetypes).

    In testing, we’ve been unable to reproduce the issue of attempts to create compressed versions of .pdf files.

    N.B. It is possible to manage backup options in the advanced options section in the “Compress images” tab. From there, you can delete all backup-ed images that came from WP-O, and disable backup original images option to avoid creating additional files in future. Does that make a difference?
