Not enough space, delete original image?

Hi,

I have limited space on my server, so there is no room for original images. Is there a way to keep resized thumbnails only and delete original after upload and thumbnail generation?


Thanks!

you can delete original images on your server but it is not recommended, there are a lot of functions which work with original images:

- download link - link to original image
- piclens
- rotating images, recreating images
- deleting images (e.g. if you delete an image, which thumbnails were in different categories, then they use only one source of thumbnail and if you delete one image, the second image must create own source)
