Delete Unscaled Images is a free WordPress plugin designed to optimize media storage by removing unscaled images from the server. Introduced with WordPress 5.3, this tool addresses the issue of large image files being uploaded, which can take up unnecessary space on the server. The plugin automatically deletes original images after the scaled versions are created, ensuring that only the necessary files remain.

In addition to automatic deletion for new uploads, Delete Unscaled Images also includes a bulk deletion feature located in the Media submenu. This allows users to efficiently process existing images, further streamlining media management. By utilizing this plugin, WordPress users can maintain a cleaner and more organized media library while conserving server storage.
