Will Destroying All Image Optimization Data affect my website?

Hi,

If you did not set “Remove Original Backups” to ON , or ever did “Remove Original Image Backups” , then it will just revert your status to previous before you did image optimization

best regards,

Thank you for your quick response. I am not sure what my previous dev did. It seems I have 25k photos of. bk,. webp files. That’s keeping my innode usage higher. what should I do now? how can I flush these unwanted images from my system created due to image optimization safely? my site is pretty big.Thank you.

Hi. I needed support. it’s hurting my web performance a lot. I wish I could delete them but not sure what to do right now.

Hi,

well , unless your server is running on traditional mechinaical disk , otherwise I really don’t think images in disk would hurt web performance.

anyway , I would suggest you to downlaod them to keep a backup on your local computer, then remove the original backup

Best regards,

oops. It’s running on SSD. It doesn’t make sense running a pretty big website on HDD. images in disk hurt web performance for sure by increasing inode use. I wasn’t talking about removing the original backup. I was talking about something else different. I knew I could take backup of the whole site and could have done what I am supposed to. it was too time consuming to walk through this way. if something goes wrong it will take much time to restore the backup. I don’t know if you are talking about taking media backup or not. as far as I know media backup doesn’t work well except for manual restoration.
Hmm, I have to find my own way. Thank you for your response. I love this plugin and would love to recommend others.

Hi,

hmmmm????

please forgive my bluntness , then what exactly is it you want to do here ?

Best regards,
