Media content is doubling the space

  • so…I uploaded a 44kB image to put on my post, and then I looked in the uploaded folder where I installed wordpress; here I have 4-5 images with different sizes, that are doubling the space; than I uploaded a 300kB image an looked in the upload folder, again 4-5 images on different size that take ~ 1MB, witch is allot.
    I know the shinked images are for media content as some kind of icon for the admin to see the picture.

    Can somewone explain me ?

    No, they’re not. They are the thumbnail, medium and full image sizes as configured in Settings/Media.

    Is there any way to disable this ? the pictures to be uploaded with their full size and that is it.

    The only option I can suggest is that you set your thumbnail, medium and full image sizes to dimensions that are significantly larger than any image you might upload. In theory, that should stop WP creating the extra images.
