Wordpress LScache Plugin: Removing Original Images
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hi I used the image optimization feature and optimized all of my images. Then used the Delete all backups of the original images and the deletion was successful. Now when i check my uploads folder I can see two of each image. One with the original extension and one with .webp extension. For example : image.jpg image.jpg.webp Is this intended behavior? I am asking since my disk usage has gone way up (about 30 percent). Is there a way I can fix this? This topic was modified 3 months ago by metalsoft. Hi, yes, this is normal image.jpg -> the optimized jpg file image.jpg.webp -> the webp version if you did not remove original backup , you will also see one named as image.bk.jpg which is backup file yes, once you enabled webp version , one image will have 2 versions, one for jpg , one for webp , that could take some space. best regards, Thank you for your reply. Are there any settings to only keep the WEBP files? Hi, No , and I dont really suggest this , it will create serious issue.
